RAT is currently run during the validate phase, which is very early in
the cycle.

I think that is a nuisance, as it gets in the way of local testing.
Any new file has to have an AL header, or you have to remember to use
-Drat.skip.
This makes it harder to use test cases, e.g. provided in bug reports.

I think it would be better applied during the verify phase, which is
between package and install.
It will still catch missing licences, but won't be a nuisance otherwise.

Any objections?
