Definitely, I assume we do:

Try and parse both applied and changelog version
If parse successfully, emit lint warning if it should be dropped
If parse failure, emit lint warning about misparse and inform us of found
upstream version and they should check if it still necessary.

I'm not exactly sure where in the flow this makes sense. If it's delta and
we are rebasing to new/debian, actual testing should show a failure (during
quilt push). So the lint message isn't useful probably? Maybe merge and
lint can check this somehow? `git ubuntu merge --lint` that calls the same
code `git ubuntu lint`. Future in any case :)
