Well, Ville does update (or patch, I'm not sure) our rpmlint to
correspond to our guidelines.  For example, verification of the
License: tag matches exactly the licenses from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing and the syntax rules in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines (module
any delay in getting updates to those pages propagated into the code).
