Typically in case if INFO_DIR_SECTION of next version has less entries
than previous version or entries are different. In time of %preun, old
INFO_DIR_SECTION is already overwritten by te new contents.

If INFO_DIR_SECTION in the new file is different than the old one

Well, openSUSE has %{_libdir}=/usr/lib64 for x86_64. Setting
%{_libexecdir}=%{_libdir} would cause bi-arch clash (32-bit shared
library fails to find 64-bit libexec helper).
