But it doesn't know how to order packages beyond what rpmlib tells it.

You're right - it doesn't do this, quite intentionally, if yum did all

The whole point in using the rpmlibs and ts.order() is to NOT rewrite
all that.

Then you need to talk to the maintainer of rpm, b/c there isn't anything
in yum to fix this, if it is broken.
