While I agree that, in theory, it may be a nicer approach, I'm not personally willing to do the donkey work it would entail in order to get a smooth upgrade. If someone wants to undertake this, this, then I'd recommend using a macro for the version of rpm-helper that's needed which would at least make doing the same task next time a lot easier (actually I suspect that the rpm-helper service stuff will be cleaned up a lot for mga4, so it'll likely be needed at some point anyway - but hopefully before beta stages!!)
