Ok so the patch is quite big.
Regarding the creation of new script called lsbrpmlint, i prefer to not include it, as it just run rpmlint with a default option.
Regarding most of the test they are ok by themself, but some of them conflict with regular distribution policy. So we should restrict them to lsb-* package, or add a configuration flag, like ForceLSBCompliance before checking.
the standard is here, for future reference : http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/packagefmt.html
vile, wdyt ?

I tend to agree that a separate executable sounds a bit overkill'ish.
Regarding the checks themselves, we already have a way to filter messages, and it would be nice if it could be used as is. For example, one could set up a lsb-specific config file and call rpmlint -f on it. But I don't know if that's good enough.
BTW I just committed [1246] which adds a removeFilter() function, that could be useful eg. in this case where the system config files have been set up to filter most LSB messages.
