rpmlint, in common with many other "lint" tools, reports things that it 
thinks *may* be errors that actually are intended. To regard "no rpmlint 
failures" as a package sanity check is way over the top I think.

Comparing the rpmlint output for an updated package with the rpmlint 
output for the currently in-repo package would be more useful as that 
could identify any new issues, but there should still be a means to 
override rpmlint if the maintainer can explain why it's not a problem.
