Yes, except if you installing multiple packages then all
installs occur, and then all erasures occur.  So if you were
upgrading package A and B then it would look something like:

	%pre    A-new
	%files  A-new
	%post   A-new
	%pre    B-new
	%files  B-new
	%post   B-new
	%preun  A-old
	%files  A-old
	%postun A-old
	%preun  B-old
	%files  B-old
	%postun B-old

Note, also, that erasures are not ordered, but installs are.
