I did it when I tried to sort out which packages should be reported in
the OMICtools newsletter.
I think, all OMICtools IDs in our database are correct now. No new
incorrect OMICtools ID should appear, they were used at the beginning
when the OMICtools website incorrectly reported them.

Yes, of course, we should check other IDs (I am thinking, at least,
about the "RRID -> SciCrunch" currently manually corrected by Steffen)
I don't know how to use the UDD importer logs but I will be happy to learn.

The lintian checks (including #731340) are somewhere on my todo list
but I need to find time :-)

I will think about this kind of checker but definitely you know how to
motivate me :-)
