Seems like having a separate RPM for cellservdb would be easiest.
Then you can have TWO rpms for the 2 cases that cover 99% of the users:
1. Local only - this RPM would have no CellServDB.global
2. Full participant - this RPM would have a full CellServDB.global
I'd hate to get us into the situation where people using RPMs for
installs would not ever get an updated CellServDB, which is what %config
would result in.
Alternatively, always update CellServDB.global, always have
CellServDB.local, but have a flag file that told the RPM to not include
the global file.
