+Future options:
+
+-e  Only log errors, not warnings (right now, everything is a warning).
+
+Future test ideas:
+
+- extract the doinst.sh separately and check it. If we e.g. have
+  an icon cache or desktop file cache in $PKG, but no
+  gtk-update-icon-cache or update-desktop-database command in the
+  doinst.sh, that's definitely an error.
+
+- more forbidden files. for fonts.{dir|scale}, we need the doinst.sh
+  test (doinst can and should create these; they should *not* just be
+  files in the package).
+
+- noarch could recommend a package be made noarch, if it contains no
+  ELF files and doesn't use lib or lib64 dirs. Should this just
+  be a recommendation, or should it count as a failed test?
+
+- static libraries? some packages ship these because upstream doesn't
+  support shared libs, though. maybe only complain if libfoo.so.* and
+  libfoo.a both exist (if we have a shared lib, we shouldn't also have
+  a static one). Maybe this should be a disable-able warning?
+
+- icons. Make sure they are what their filename says (I've run into .png
+  files named .svg, and .gif files named .png, etc). If they're in
+  /usr/share/icons/<size>x<size>/, make sure they actually are the correct
+  size (or that they're SVG, if they're in scalable/). Really large icons
+  in /usr/share/pixmaps are probably useless (most stuff that uses the
+  old-style icons expects them to be 48x48 or 64x64). Icons must be
+  readable by everyone, non-executable, and owned by root:root.
+
+- duplicate files, maybe the error message could suggest a "ln -s" command
+  to use if the file really does need to appear in multiple dirs.
+
+- fonts. make sure they are what their filename says, and are installed to
+  the correct /usr/share/fonts/* or /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts dir.
+
+Other ideas:
+
+When linting multiple packages, print a summary: 100 packages checked,
+10 failed, 90 passed. Maybe with percentages too.
+
+Clean up the output. Make it easier to grep.
