That, and you'll also need to check any scripts and triggers the package has. Especially 3rd party commercial packages tend to do the real installation in rpm post scripts scribbling all sorts of junk over the place, typical example would be something like
$ rpm -qpl <vendor-rpm> /tmp/vendor.tar.gz..and if you check with rpm -qp --scripts <vendor-rpm> you'll find a very, uh, creative ways to extract the contained tarball into /opt in a good case or all around the system disk in a more typical case.
