Yes this is related to F19 and F20. But my personal opinion is, that
packages should use systemctl now anyway.
Yes - if you are going to touch the spec file, migrating to native
systemctl makes much more sense.
With the existing /sbin -> /usr/sbin symlinks and the Provides:
/sbin/service, replacing /sbin/service references by /usr/sbin/service
references isn't solving any user-visible problem AFAICS.
