I think it's a good idea to move to an FHS layout, not only will this
make directory server fit in with the rest of our packages but it will
also aid in SELinux policy which makes strong assumptions about location
in FHS directories.

I did a very cursory review of the layout and right off the top of my
head it looks pretty good. I'm not entirely certain the slapd instance
should be located under /var/lib but that might be nit.

A good way to get lots of eyeballs to review the layout is to submit the
RPM for review.
