Heh.  Here's where we come to the part about making invalid assumptions.  :-/

I was waiting to fix all of the timestamps before mounting the filesystem to 
/usr/share/.  I just tried it, and RPM doesn't complain.  So, RPM does appear 
to be checking the timestamp of the target of the link.

These aren't the droids we're looking for...Move along.
