Best way to handle modified startup scripts

["Dan Mahoney, System Admin" <danm prime gushi org>]

Hello all,

At my company we've got some RPMs that replace the startup scripts that 
install with say, iptables or httpd, in order to rebuild the config file 
as part of what they do.

Currently we install with --force, and I'm not thrilled about it.

Is there an rpm-friendly way to supplant these packages -- or would that 
involve basically having to fork one's own distro with custom packages all 
throughout?
