From Mageia wiki
Summary
Rpmlint is currently set up to handle Redhat/Fedora and does not have rulesets to warn against certain constructions which are not necessary for Mageia. This makes it more difficult for newbie packagers to learn how to package correctly,
The project is to add more warnings to rpmlint to make it easier for packagers particularly newbies to do packaging.
