That's actually a conf regression on our side, I think most packagers are used
to such rejects for a couple years and nobody will complain

I think this one got enabled at one stage on mdv

This is borderline.
Not a real blocking issue IMGO

idem

we can whitelist the good cases if any

</I>><i> * empty-%post
</I>><i> * invalid-desktopfile
</I>><i> * unknown-lsb-keyword
</I>><i> * standard-dir-owned-by-package
</I>><i>
</I>><i> discuss for blocking :
</I>><i> * backup-file-in-package
</I>><i> * version-control-internal-file
</I>><i>
</I>><i> discuss and find a list of exceptions for :
</I>><i> * world-writable
</I>><i> * non-readable
</I>><i> ( especially the non-readable part ).

Let's go!
