You can use cabal-install to do consistency checks, as described here:

Indicating that those are inconsistent. You could take the list of things in AUR, with version numbers, and ask cabal install if they're consistent (and then, when they're not, iterate, removing inconsistent packages).
That's certainly a good idea, but we would have to encode the package name in the PKGBUILD to retrieve it easily. The best option would be to have cabal-install as a library so that we could access it from Haskell. I don't want to use IOs for something that should be a pure function. Do you know why cabal-install contains libraries not in cabal ? -- Rémy.
