There's no reason to implement in code what can be done
by simply editing a DB_CONFIG file.
Implementing in code creates mysterious undocumented side-effects
and endless perceptions and expectations that start like
RPM sux because …
that can _NEVER_ be fulfilled.

So will
set_flags db_log_autoremove on
and if you cannot bigger how to add DB_CONFIG to /var/lib/rpm where
needed, well, try
man 1 cp
and stare at how simple and obvious a file copy command actually is.
We most definitely disagree on what rpm SHOULD attempt here.
