Well, I think it's too verbose and specific to be part of the
packaging guidelines, which are more general in their nature. The
point of this document was to outline "Good Practice" and lower the
intertial barrier to building add-on packages for Emacs. So I'm not
sure where it's best put, and whether it needs to go via Packaging
committee approval or not.

There seems to be quite a lot of information gathered under
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging that isn't easily accessed but
seems really useful.
