Edos-debcheck will vanish soon. The replacement is dose-debcheck. And
dose-debcheck has an option --latest which seem to do what you need :
% man dose-debcheck
[...]
OPTIONS FOR FILTERING THE INPUT
--latest
Only the latest version of each package is kept, older versions
of packages are ignored.
dose-debcheck is distributed in the debian package dose-distcheck.
