I recently added dino to Fedora, and rpmlint seems unhappy with the

The upstream locale is zh_Hans, which has similar error messages. I
know very little about this topic - could someone enlighten me about
what is upsetting wrong here?

It's not a fully specified locale but it's not wrong either. Per
the CLDR likely subtag rules it would expand to zh_Hans_CN.

It specifies simplified chinese without any specific country being
targeted - so it's the equivalent of en compared to en_US say.

Technically en_Latn would a closer equivalent but nobody ever
bothers to specify a script for english because there is only
one option whereas chinese has several so it is normal to add
either the script or the country or both.
