Ha. no. 

There is a hook we have that notifies people when someone adds an
exclude/exclusivearch. We could make another one that checks for
Suggests I suppose. 

They could just add Requires tho, or add something that makes the auto
dep generating scripts add a requires or suggests. 

So, perhaps a CI check would be better, to check the actual produced
binary package.
