JFYI - this might affect us, too, at least for debugging or testing.
If there was an announcement anywhere else, I missed it. I read this just by accident on [opensuse]:
No idea what they're smoking: http://<factory>/suse/i586/checkinstall-1.6.1-72.i586.rpm

Checkinstall has been dropped from openSUSE because it doesn't work anymore. Checkinstall's trick is to load a library via LD_PRELOAD that redirects all functions dealing with files. Now for installing a package you need to be root and for programs running with root privileges the dynamic loader ignores LD_PRELOAD as this would otherwise be a huge security problem. So checkinstall has become useless and was therefore dropped.
