basically you can require that something be there for a specific part of
the rpm transaction chain...

- ---(snip!)---
Requires(pre): /usr/sbin/some-script.sh
Requires(post): /sbin/chkconfig

%pre
/usr/sbin/some-script.sh

%post
/sbin/chkconfig
- ---(snip!)---

Without these "hints" rpm is pretty lax in how it determines ordering
for installing packages.

Although, I must admit, I'm not sure what "init" stands for in this
case.  I generally use it for pre,post,preinst,postinst.
