I'm surprised the Fedora packaging guidelines don't mention this explicitly, but historically Red Hat and Fedora have read "add-on application software packages" to mean third-party packages -- i.e., not things we package.

These files aren't intended to change, are they? In that case /var really shouldn't be in the picture.
There's some precedent for packages using /usr/lib/packagename for this purpose -- bugzilla, for example, and, um, anaconda.
