I have such name-based check implemented in lintian4python. It sort of 
works, but I had to filter out at least:
- dependency/transitional packages;
- -dbg packages;
- -dev packages;
- documentation packages;
- python-support, python-central;
- packages built from src:python-defaults.
And I'm pretty sure there are still false positives...
