Now about this thread (which I've read entirely but I was not sure where to jump in). I think it would make sense to have a single common package for autodownload files, .desktop files and .sh files, we need to figure out what to do with the .sh files when multiple engines are installed (pick a default, add a switch to allow overriding it from the cmdline I guess). I suggest calling it "doom-autodownload-helpers". As for the interaction with doom-shareware from rpmfusion, we could make it first check if that is installed, and if so not check for the files under ~ and use autodownload to get them at all, instead simply launching $engine with the necessary options to use the files under /usr/share put there by the rpmfusion package.
