Right, but actually tor should simply include the normal SysV-style 
initscripts (with initscripts dependencies, not lsb-core ones) inside the 
package itself. We have a packaging guideline for initscripts:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Initscripts
"Currently, only SystemV-style initscripts are supported in Fedora."
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SysVInitScript
This guideline MUST be followed.
