Point 3: fixed by removing event.h because it's, according to upstream, only for bw compatibility with libevent -> N/A for me, IMHO.

That would break applications that expect to find it as event.h (basically all libevent applications).

Why not do it like other distributions such as debian, where the common header files are installed as alternatives, or optionally? event.h is an alternative to the libevent event.h, it's not an unrelated header file, it serves the same purpose in both libraries. """ (Not yet in mail archive http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/libev/) Point 4: No interest from upstream, probably because when it's in /usr/lib/ no special magic is necessary. When it's not upstream -> projects won't use it -> useless to have it in Fedora.
