Suggestion: Warn when a package was packaged incorrectly #2173

Description

In Short: Add a big red warning when stuff like https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/issues/672 happens.

In general paket update/install (or maybe even restore) could detect this whole class of packaging errors (even earlier when using pack)

My suggestion would be to add those warnings and see how often they trigger, if they trigger to often we might want to disable them or add some kind of "pure" mode.

Regarding the last point: You could even argue that paket resolved an invalid/broken resolution... @forki what do you think?
