Checkinstall has been dropped from openSUSE because it doesn't work
anymore.
Checkinstall's trick is to load a library via LD_PRELOAD that
redirects all functions dealing with files. Now for installing a
package you need to be root and for programs running with root
privileges the dynamic loader ignores LD_PRELOAD as this would
otherwise be a huge security problem.
So checkinstall has become useless and was therefore dropped.
