Could you be more verbose on these substitutions?

There were two missing '-p's actually, added.

I don't think so, the defaults there should match Fedora, so that it has to be
tuned appropriatelly.

Please provide a patch for this.

I don't think so. Storing config files to /etc is perfectly fine IMO.

Moved.

I decided to remove the common package as it's useless and moved bits from there
to the main package.

Indeed, added.

Seems reasonable, please provide patch.
