Agreed! IMO this is a packaging bug. Triggers do not drop rpmsave files. I suspect the chances of getting
Red Hat to fix it are slim to none. Fixing it would most likely break other things for them.

I agree they are aware of it but I suspect it is a low priority thing given
they have known about this since 2016-12-29.

I do think it would be relatively easy for SerNet to patch around in their
paid for rpms. alas I do not have the budget for them. :-(

The bug is available at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12488
