I don't think that's true - I think an RPM with a /bin/sh scriptlet will
get a dependency on /bin/sh, so it shouldn't be installed before
/bin/sh.

The only things that should have an issue there are things that are
dependencies _of_ the package providing /bin/sh, although there is a
circular dependency there, so I'm not sure how that works today.

$ rpm -qRf /bin/sh
...
filesystem >= 3

$ rpm -qR filesystem
/bin/sh
...
