Trying to depclean it gives a warn, which is a simple form to check it;
we could probably optimize this if it needs to run faster. Or we have
some separate script generate an online list (like our rev deps) to
quickly check it up with; could go a step further, one can set up a
tool to ensure the bugs get set accordingly.

For example; see security's GLSA bug bot, which is much more complex.
