I would more prefer if this was included via an extension in rpbuild, e.g. 
like there is a way to enable rpath checking. Also wrt. to rpmlint, how 
should this work in rpmlint? Should it run a rpmbuild -bp and then examine 
the build directory? It is afaik absolutely valid to have binaries in the 
tarball that is included in the srpm and remove them in %prep.
