On my personal TODO list is a command line unix package linter. Setup.exe may some mechanism to manage state data - /etc/foo.cfg, /usr/info/dir etc, but I think a simpl solution to catch 99% of cases is the package linter. And yes, it should refuse to add the package, and email the maintainer (IMO).
