* Should the linter warn if a package depends on multiple versions of the same program?

Currently we have a problem caused by glibmm-2.64 propagating two
different versions of libsigc++:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/52519

I think this is something that is rarely desirable.

Maybe the linter could check for cases like this? Of course, "cases like
this" still needs to be defined exactly...

Oh, as happens so often, I spoke too soon. The linter actually warns:

------
gnu/packages/glib.scm:811:3: glibmm@2.64.5: propagated inputs libsigc++@2.9.3 and libsigc++@3.0.6 collide
------
