This sort of thing seems like something that will be an ongoing
problem so a more efficient way to solve it would be a lintian
warning, which should hopefully help prevent new occurrences. OTOH it
would be pretty hard to automatically check for these without a robust
shell parser. Perhaps morbig from Project CoLiS could be used for the
shell parsing and then a script could process the morbig output.
ShellCheck might be another option but it doesn't yet output parse
trees.
