Awesome; is this something that you could potentially integrate into one
of the services that runs regularly over the archive?  Not sure which
place it really would belong.  Lintian seems the wrong place; maybe
something attached to ci.debian.org or reproducibility?  Or maybe its
own service?

Yup!  These actually have an RM request pending with the backports team
that I need to follow up on.  Thanks for the poke!
