Maybe you can use a bash-script to do that... Something like:
for file in $(find / -name '*.rpmnew'); do
cp ${file/rpmnew} ${file/rpmnew/rpmold} ; # to do the backup
mv $file ${file/rpmnew}; # to use the .rpmnew
done

I suggest that you check rpm(1) manual for that.
I think there is an option that says --noscript, but I'm not so sure if that
will get rid of EVERY scripts and not only the ones that manage the .rpmnew
stuff

Nop.
The use of one of that tools it's in a higher level. The problem that you
had (in strictly rigor it's not a problem, it's the way it works) is a rpm
specific.
