I know what you mean, there's a lot of lore. I pick up a lot from other 
spec files, and some from when I followed the RPM mailing list. The RPM 
website (http://www.rpm.org/) has improved somewhat with better 
documentation.

Ah, here's the spot in Maximum RPM that documents the script arguments:

<http://rpm-devel.colug.net/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-scripts.html>

Look at the section titled "Install/Erase-time Scripts".

(I read through the hardcopy of Maximum RPM that came with my copy of RH 
5.2.)
