Well, if changing is ok then how about trying to make it better instead? :)

The patch took minimal change approach by prepending "Package " to each 
outputted line, but this seems rather redundant: a tool called 
package-cleanup is not returning data about fish or ducks.

A simple option would make it return the same what "yum check" does, 
without the "Package" on each line. Or group the problems by package 
with nicely indented output or ... Me, I dont care about the exact 
format but if others have improvement ideas...
