How about making %check a packaging requirement in all cases - run tests or add a comment explaining why not, how to run them (e.g. make test) or why there are no tests for this package.

Does %check install the package and run the tests as root? For the keyutils package that I maintain, this would be a requirement to be able to run the testsuite because:

(1) There are certain operations that cannot be tested if you're not root.

(2) The kernel must be able to upcall to executables installed by the rpm.

I imagine this applies to some other packages also.

I does, but not sure to how many. %check is executed during rpmbuild time right after %build so limitations apply.
