Sorry, but this becomes bizarre.

You are the packager of this particular software and you made some
decisions on its layout. By definition you are the one that knows
about technical details of this package and how to implement FHS and
Fedora's guidelines.

But now you ask other people to dig into your package to tell you how
to fix it while you already wrote that everything needed is
configurable from a /etc/sysconfig file? Which most certainly an rpm
script can do whatever it pleases? Including detection of being and
upgrade (vs a fresh install) and the usage of a legacy /srv/vdr
partition in a %pre script and keep it?

I know you are a smart person and that you can solve much more
difficult tasks, but I get the feeling, that you just do not want to
cooperate in this issue. Please we don't need stumbling blocks to get
a clean /srv partition - try to implement the solution that will make
everyone glad, from the legacy users to the FPC.
