I misunderstood what you were talking about.  Of course we're 
installing the RPMs and not copying their contents to the local hosts. 
I'm trying to figure out what you originally intended that lead to this 
conclusion...

Anyway, the presence of /usr/afsws/bin/blah and /usr/afsws/etc/blah 
links is merely to allow other scripts that haven't been updated yet to 
keep running even though they expect the AFS utils to be in those 
locations.  That's what the openafs-client-compat RPM is doing.
