As Todd said in this thread, /var/log/rpmpkgs is created
during cron job defined in /etc/cron.daily/rpm, however from
this change:

* Thu May 14 2009 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4.7.0-4
- split cron-job into a sub-package to avoid silly deps on core rpm (#500722)

this file was moved to rpm-cron rpm. So if you want to make
cron job create /var/log/rpmpkgs everyday, you want to install
rpm-cron.
