Sorry for not responding. I was too busy. I have compiled the .spec (without the workaround) in a virtual machine with openSUSE 13.1, and rpmlint worked correctly. I thought I had tested this in 13.1, but I was wrong (don't know about OBS). So I guess this is a new bug in openSUSE 13.2 (I'm sure rpmlint fails in this version). @Bernhard, what openSUSE version did you test in?
