I think you are right on this. At this time I know my package works 
right and provides the proper things. I worry about rpmlint in part 
because the fedora-extras wiki asks that rpmlint be used. Another part 
of me feels like an rpmlint warning is the same as fingernails scraping 
on a chalkboard...my programmer half wants to scream at a single 
warning, but packaging is forcing me to consider a "new model" of 
thinking (as in "packaging is not an exact science").

At this point I know for a fact that rpmlint has a few bugs, e.g., it 
can't properly detect relocatable code in libraries compiled with gcc 4. 
I sent a note to a listed maintainer, but I doubt I'll get a reply.
