I know that rpm is too stupid to sort out dependencies; in my hand-made
scripts, I had to make sure everyhting got passed on the command line in
one go.  (Everybody's not yet apt out there...)

Why don't you use some kind of place holder in the install command? 
SOmething like
DefaultInstallCommand = ( /sbin/apt-get install %p )
where %p expands to a single package to install, or
DefaultInstallCommand = ( /sbin/rpm -i %P )
where %P expands to the list of all packages to install?
