Is SCC an »add-on software«? I recognize generic rpm packages as such, like the Google, Skype, or Adobe ones. In my mind, I package which will be shipped with Fedora itself should follow the usual standard. The hierarchy in the generic package is somewhat odd anyway: /opt/scc/bin, /etc/opt/scc and /var/opt/scc/. There's no common installation prefix, though. If you could figure out a way to make it work with /usr/bin, /etc/scc and /var/scc, it would become more transparent.
