These kind of checks are usually done in lintian, and for this one, there is
the tag "conflicting-negation-in-source-relation". It seems your request could
be implemented as a lintian autoreject (hence the retitle). The problem
doesn't seem that common, however, as the graph show exactly 1 match for the
last year, in clisp:

Cheers,

Ivo
