This one is more of a best reasonable effort requirement. As long as you scan
through things and don't see any evidence that something would be impermissible,
it should be fine. Mostly this is a catch-all for things that humans are better
at discovering than a computer (like someone submitting a program called "Last
Fantasy" which is a complete replica of a famous video game).

Mostly this one is just to ensure that we don't have a whole bunch of packages
trying to own /usr/bin/commonword or something.

This is a MAY, not a MUST, I think. It basically means that the package isn't
known not to work properly on specific architectures. (Which is subtly different
from ExclusiveArch, which means that it's only supported on certain architectures).

Yes.
