A few points on this:

1. The commit of this changes seems to coincide with the uptick of
   blocked packages for this issue.

2. You should not be subjecting packages to checks with tools that are
   not fully visible to all maintainers.  In the future, please commit
   (to a public opencsw repo) any change to any script you use prior
   to blocking a package based on said change.  You're welcome to test
   changes locally, but this should not impede the release of anything
   before it's public

3. Any reason you've not adopted Maciej's checkpkg?

Thanks
