According to Mandriva package policy, I already need to change many things 
from hobbit to xymon (user name, directory names it is installed to, init 
script etc. etc.). It would be quite a bit easier to handle this once in a 
%triggerpostun hobbit, than to handle multiple cases with multiple 
%triggerpostun, some versioned, some not, moving different files/dirs at 
different times, and make it relatively transparent to the average user who 
just gets a new xymon package in the next release of their favourite distro 
....
