We lint PKGBUILDs to make sure they do not break assumptions needed by
makepkg or pacman.  I don't think this check falls in that category -
without going through the code, I beleive we do check this for
pkgnames/depends/etc where it may be an issue.  So I'm not sure this
check finds anything in the "break makepkg/pacman" category.

My opinion is this is something for namcap or the like. e.g.
