from what you are writing it is clear you don't know what i'm talking about, and seems not even attempting.

triggers are not always used to make something backwards compatible.
the triggers are invoked and create the symlinks ONLY when both packages are installed.
(and same for the removal)

and if you look the version components of the trigger, 
it's rather always current than something from past or the future

that is still package install stage, not package build time.
there is no such thing as directory deps are added to package. these are verified at package installation stage.

echo "/home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/linux-2.6.24" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Filelinktos
to solve broken packaging

as i said, add the triggers and package as %ghost files (not as symlinks as then filelinktos will apply)
