The packages at ATrpms try to be as upstream/vanilla/generic as
possible, I wouldn't want to base them on a downstream project like
AsteriskNOW (I even try to keep any RHEL/Fedora specifics out of them,
so people can even rebuild on other rpm platforms). As you wrote in a
trimmed part of the mail, for example relying on the downstream of
AsteriskNOW resulted in forgetting setting up init files needed for
standalone operation.

But serving a downstream project is a different beast and worthwhile
doing it. Are there any bits in the ATrpms packages that need
adjustment/fixing wrt AsteriskNOW? If so is it possible to keep the
packages still generic, and FHS/LSB compliant?
