Description:
When installing MySQL Server using RPM packages, it is possible that people surprise that mysqld starts automatically unless --nopost or --noscript is specified. However, if we prevent a post-install script from running, the installer won't make user user accounts, won't initialize a data directory etc.

We need some option not to server automatically after installing RPM package. Or, remove logics from post-install script other than starting the server and move logics to pre-install script. Then, people may be able to install RPK packages without starting the server automatically using --nopost option.

(Admitted, that title is misleading, the problem is a general one.)
