If LGPLv2+ and LGPLv3 source files are compiled into one binary, then the
license for this binary should be LGPLv3. If those files are not compiled into
one file, then they are still licensed under their original license.

Right, it'll be better to do %check in spec if it's convenient to do so. This
package will pull in >200M addtional deps for tests, I don't think it's really
worth to do so.  For C/C++ packages, doing tests normally won't pull in many
additional buildrequires. However, for some python packages, I think doing
tests is impossible under some circumstance(e.g. Zope2 requires donzes of tiny
python modules, all those modules depends on a large amount of other modules,
obviously we can't do tests for all those modules).
