Do you really need the init script to be fedora-ds-base? There
shouldn't be a conflict calling it fedora-ds.
There is no conflict, as such.
There is no conflict with path naming
either - it makes no difference if it's named /etc/fedora-ds or
/etc/fedora-ds-base for example. The thing is that, in the Linux Way
(tm) of doing things, if you have a package named pkgname you have to
use pkgname in path naming e.g. /etc/$pkgname, /var/lib/$pkgname, and so
on. If the pkg is a network service, you have to be able to say service
$pkgname restart, etc.
