Why should this work?  I assume

%post -p "/sbin/chkconfig --add %{name}"

won't work either, as the -p flag requires an executable program
as parameter, which is substantially different from a command.
For the rest,

%post -p /sbin/ldconfig

is just a kind of trick to to not fork a shell to run a script,
but to fork /sbin/ldconfig directly instead.
