I'm aware of the issues it creates, but no one could give me a good
reason why it would be a problem to leave things as they are.
Everything I could find told me that RPM uses sh/bash by default when
you don't include a program for %post/etc, so there's no danger of
another interpreter being used that wouldn't know what to do with the
hash character.

Without a valid comment character for rpm (like %# or something like
that), this works WAY better than "lots of whitespace" which is not imho
a good visual separator.  In a small spec like this, it's no big deal,
but I like to keep all of my specs somewhat standardized.

If people *really* feel that this is something that needs to change,
I'll pull the lines and replace them with the shorter form of the
scriptlet, but leaving out a section separators makes for a rather ugly
hard-to-read spec (I already hate having to do it for specs where I
can't rely on sh as the interpreter).
