There is no conflict, as such.  There is no conflict with path naming 
either - it makes no difference if it's named /etc/fedora-ds or 
/etc/fedora-ds-base for example.  The thing is that, in the Linux Way 
(tm) of doing things, if you have a package named pkgname you have to 
use pkgname in path naming e.g. /etc/$pkgname, /var/lib/$pkgname, and so 
on.  If the pkg is a network service, you have to be able to say service 
$pkgname restart, etc.
