Detect url/sha256 mismatch
If a maintainer updates a version (and thus the URL) but fails to update the sha256, all tests will pass. Is there any way we can detect this?
Example: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/215890
See also #429
Detecting this is not that trivial and should be caught in review.
