Depends, you need to be more precise. What exactly do you want to check
for? First you are talking about contacting the backend (e.g. if there's
a connection to AWS), but then you are talking about detecting if a
bucket has been removed (which has nothing to do with S3QL being able to
talk to S3).
However, in either case this will probably require additional
programming in S3QL.
