(I also don't like packaging files without binary package name for
single-binary source package, but that's just a matter of taste.)

Or maybe start with a warning (maybe immediately) and then proceed to
an error?

I also wonder if a lintian warning might be helpful to get this

(And I admit that I haven't checked if such a lintian tag exists but
I can't remember seeing one.)
