that's nice, but imho %banner should be fixed before.

for example the %userremove/%groupremove logs the message to banner by append 
method, and if you're testing ie by removing user constantly then the 
appended message is displayed to you, thus the message is displayed twice.

expected %banner behaviour would be that
1. message is appended, but not displayed if -a option is enabled
2. if message display is requested only the new message is displayed (not the 
whole log)

is there way to configure via /etc/sysconfig/rpm which messages you want to 
see on screen? imho no, and your idea seems like such feature is needed.
