[opensuse-packaging] new rpmlint check

Hi, 

it turns out that using %fdupes unconditionally over all of %{buildroot} can 
cause hardlinks to be created between files that are possibly installed on 
different physical partitions on the customer`s system. 

It turns out that RPM is unable to handle that gracefully. Therefore I`ve 
added a new check which complains if there is a hardlink accross the first 
two levels of a path. 

These checks will be fatal in BETA (somewhen in the near future), please watch 
for failures and fix your packages. 

the always current list of affected packages (sorry guys, suse internal only): 

$ grep hardlink-across ~dmueller/Export/pita/pita.lst


Greetings,
Dirk
