The rpmlint message is clearly a false positive. I'm not claiming that my code
is perfect, but I do think it is bad practice to modify it because rpmlint made
an unjustified complaint. To be honest, the right answer would probably be to
replace the use of "dmapd" with $prog in all but the prog= declaration.

I would like some more official feedback regarding the /var/db/dmapd issue. As
I stated, I am going for ease of install. There is a precedent for this
technique (httpd's /var/www comes to mind). Also, the choice of /var is
consistent with the FHS. There is precedent for db, but I am not wed to it
(i.e., one could argue /var/lib is better, but the FHS is a bit vague on the
intent behind this directory). I'd like to find a clear Fedora policy on 1)
creating a data directory so that a pre-configured server may be installed 2)
/var/db vs. /var/lib, etc.
