I disagree that this patch adds any value at all to java packages. This is obvious for anyone who is familiar with java packaging. Please answer my question asking why it not possible to teach whatever tool you are using to generate this report how to exclude java packages: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-March/196302.html

I do not believe there is sufficient rationale for this change, or reason enough to not enhance the reporting tool rather than imposing on package maintainers. The conversation has died on the mailing list leaving questions unanswered. This patch also introduces an rpmlint warning, so I will not apply it.
