One of the GSoC projects is to work on spec-cleaner.

Is it feasible to update the spec for specfiles and get a %test section added.

Then have rpmlint complain if it empty.

I'm not sure where spec-cleaner would fit in, but maybe it could at
least ensure "cleaned" specfiles had a empty %test section.

Just seeing that might be enough of a prompt to get more self-tests
into specfiles.
