For me that's the kind of thing to do through a shell script, before import
into darktable:
import all files from the cards into a directory,
run a script that removes the unwanted (orphaned) files
(for each .NEF: if no corresponding JPG exists, remove .NEF;
for each .JPG: if no corresponding .NEF exists, remove .JPG;),
import the directory into darktable.
Of course, this requires a certain discipline when importing your files, in
that the relative paths from NEF to JPG should stay the same.
That said, I use a combination of Digikam (sorting, tagging and adding
captions and titles) and Darktable (global editing), sometimes Gimp (detailed
editing, e.g. wire removal).
On a side note, I've heard it said that it's better not to remove individual
files due to the nature of the card memory. Best seems to be to just fill up
the
card, and remove all files after transfer (and backup) through an in-camera
format of the card.
