Lintian is debian's policy checker. It checks that a given package adheres to the debian policy. That is to say; does the package ship UTF-8 files, man pages, is the control file correct, etc. This tool checks large parts of debian policy and fairly thoroughly takes apart a package. It does more than just a lint check, which is often just related to programming language specific files, i.e. check C files for errors. Is there something like this in the RPM world? If not, will there be hooks available to do system and functional tests? well, there's always rpmlint. it's not as explicit about policy checks but it does indeed perform them, and is configurable. I don't know how much tuning has been done for the former-Moblin environment.
