plymouth-branding-openSUSE (indirectly) calls mkinitrd in %post:

( 15/353) Installing: plymouth-branding-openSUSE-13.2-10.23 ..........................................................[finished]
Additional rpm output:

# rpm -q --scripts plymouth-branding-openSUSE
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
[...]
   if [ ! -e /.buildenv ]; then
     /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme -R openSUSE
[...]


"-R" means rebuilding the initrd.

Please do a separate mkinitrd call in %posttrans to avoid that mkinitrd runs multiple times. (You can probably steal the %post and %posttrans script from the kernel-firmware package ;-)
Comment 1 Bernhard Wiedemann 2016-10-31 20:17:19 UTC 
I was going to report this as
plymouth-branding-openSUSE calls dracut via gfxboot
(because when updating my tumbleweed this took many minutes to re-build initrds for all 3 installed kernels that would be rebuilt in posttrans anyway)

branding-openSUSE.spec now has
%post -n gfxboot-branding-openSUSE
gfxboot --update-theme openSUSE
%endif

It still should use posttrans as we do in all other places meanwhile
e.g. see lvm2.spec for regenerate_initrd_post*

Sorry, we didn't find the time to look into this. If this is still an issue in recent Tumbleweed, feel free to re-open.
