It's a white list, so:

# 0 - non dev contains .so
# 5 - .la contains installed=yes or reference to the workdir
# 7 - the desktop file is not valid
# 8 - .la contains reference to the workdir
# 9 - LDFLAGS ignored

Are warnings and

# 1 - package contains a dangerous RPATH
# 2 - package depends on debug package
# 3 - non dbg contains .so
# 4 - wrong architecture
# 6 - .pc contains reference to /usr/include or workdir
# 10 - Build paths in binaries
# 11 - package depends on devel package

Are fatal errors. The splits seems arbitrary to me, but it that's how it was last year before RP disabled all fatal errors.
