It should be possible - you compare the symbols file or/and the shlibs
file of the previous version with the current version. If the new one
has a higher version requirement, you send it to manual review.
That is the theory... There might be some corner cases (e.g. should new
symbols trigger a manual review?), but I do not see anything immediately
impossible in doing it.
