Some packaging guidelines suggestions

Hi,

As Fedora Extras is speeding up we're starting to see people unearthing
their pet package from RHL 6.x/7.x time and submitting it to extras. It
may be a good idea to add those §s to the packaging guidelines :

1. Red Hat packaging is not always right

FE has stronger packaging requirements than RHL/RHEL/FC, so blindly
copying a RHL/RHEL/FC spec file may not be sufficient (especially if you
rebase older releases).

2. Follow the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Always follow the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard rules when choosing file
locations. The FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/) is one standard
everyone seems to agree on.
