Ah, very very cool.  One important thing, and the whole reason for
actually doing this, is that in addition to the SRPM and RPMs, you
need to run rpmlint in the chroot on the package name itself.  For
example, build the aplus-fsf package under review.  rpmlint will find
nothing real to complain about with the SRPM or binary RPMs, but if
you run "rpmlint aplus-fsf" in the chroot with that package installed
you get 3800 warnings.
