Sorry, but you have been as defensive in this as anyone.
I'm just trying to get fixed what at least two people see as a bug.

Agree.

We have trying to explain how kepubs work and you keep trying to say, well, something else.
But we are converting a valid epub and it creates a buggy kepub. You are explaining how kepubs work, and I'm grateful. But the input file is a epub, and the way the kepub works is not how the epub is suppose to work. Inbetween is a bug.

As to if there is a bug anywhere, it is in the book. Unless that is the desired behaviour for the book.
Sometimes the bug is in the epub -- like when the cover page is attached to other things, or when a page is not marked a as a coverpage at all. This is hard to fix and it would be nice if the quality check plugin could flag at least some of these.

Sometimes the bug is in the conversion, where the book does not have a cover page but does have a cover image but the kepub converter fails to create a cover page. If the converter isn't going to create a cover page for this case, then it would be helpful if quality check could flag it.

If the book has no cover at all, quality check can already flag it, and it is questionable if the kepub converter should fix that or not, although calibre already has the ability to generate a cover.
