How about making %check a packaging requirement in all cases - run

add a comment explaining why not, how to run them (e.g. make test) or why
there are no tests for this package.
Does %check install the package and run the tests as root? For the keyutils
package that I maintain, this would be a requirement to be able to run the
testsuite because:
(1) There are certain operations that cannot be tested if you're not root.
(2) The kernel must be able to upcall to executables installed by the rpm.
I imagine this applies to some other packages also.
