Thanks William, that works. Is there a page on what the files do and
whether I can move them around to follow fedora's guidelines? For
example, the env setup files in /usr/ will need to be moved
to /usr/share/catkin. I also see a .rosinstall and .catkin file in /usr
which appear to be kind of a markers (from docs/dev_guide/layout.rst).
Can I move these to other locations without breaking the ros package
set?

These files are used to extend your environment when you install to a prefix not on the system path (~/install, /opt/ros/groovy/, etc...).

I do not think you can move them, but you can disable them, we do this on our buildfarm when building debians:

https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/bloom/generators/debian/templates/rules.em#L28

By setting 'CATKIN_BUILD_BINARY_PACKAGE=1' you indicate to catkin that it should not generate any of the setup*, env*, or .rosinstall/.catkin files.
