Yep, rpm has no means to track content moving around except through symlinks.
I can see how it would be useful of course, but it'd require somehow recording
such transformations in the package, and teaching the rest of rpm to honor
those.
Just a wild idea: perhaps file moving could be encoded in the file list as a
virtual symlink (call it %alias or something) and have the fingerprinting code
follow these. Something in that ballpark *may* be somehow feasible because it'd
at least be basing of something rpm already knows.
