Right, I believe lintian would be the proper place to check this kind of
files.

	$ apt-file search -x '\.xap$'

Only point at four suspect packages – maybe a test on source packages
would find more — and

	$ apt-file search -x '\.swf$'

finds a bit more potential overlooks.

Maybe a test à la source-contains-prebuilt-windows-binary would be worth it?
