Hmm, really?  The fail2ban-0.9-2.fc20 package should have (trimmed):

[apache-badbots]
logpath  = %(apache_access_log)s

[apache-noscript]
logpath  = %(apache_error_log)s

which is just as upstream.  The only modification in this area made by 
the Fedora package is to set:

before = paths-fedora.conf
