Leaving the dist tag out of the changelog entry does not make rpmlint happy,
either. It will complain as long as the E-V-R of the package and the E-V-R of
the latest changelog entry do not match.
As I said, the final build will not have this problem since both the package
E-V-R and the changelog E-V-R will be 0.2.0-1.fc8 (for the rawhide build)

The secure ram warning is about mlock() (marking a part of memory unswappable).
mlock() requires root privileges. This seems to be used all over the place in
pwsafe, and I do not feel comfortable at all about letting this effectively run
as root.
