Here is something that just came up internally, and that would probably
be a worthwhile addition to your list of 'things to watch out for':
Access control to devices is nowadays largely controlled by udev rules,
and a package installing a bad set of rules can easily make a large
chunk of your devices world-readable. 'udev rules' should be on the list
of things to review.
That seems like an implementation-of-policy-compliance-testing issue and
not something that needs explicitly mentioning in the policy. But indeed
it's a useful note: changes in udev rules should be something rpmguard
looks for and something the security testing procedures cover. thanks!
