You don't need to have an rpm in a pkg, however , if you are going to
build one with just a script in it, i recomment making it 'fail' when it
exits so the raq won't try to register anything as 'installed' ...

just grab a small patch from cobalt's site and take it apart, they are
fairly straightforward (make sure you unpack it *in* a directory ;)
