I am not sure how simple that is. It used to be hard to tell source and
binary packages apart. What we can do is to test for Built: in the
DESCRIPTION file, which will cope with people who have built the package

The trouble with idiot-proofing is anticipating the idiot: as far as I am
aware this is a first.
In all other cases I tried the INSTALL part of R CMD check failed.
