Right, this is probably the best course of action now.

When to warn them? In rpmbuild? In the koji logs no human ever reads?
You can get this kind of warning now, if you BR: libappstream-glib and
then do a:

%check
DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT appstream-util check-root

...but this requires the packager to actually add this manually.
