Lint to warn about importing a package you do not directly depend on

[dnfield]

Package a.yaml:

dependencies:
  b: any

package b.yaml:

dependencies:
  c: any

pacakge a.dart:

import 'package:c/c.dart'; // should get linted

void main() {}

It'd be nice if a lint could catch that package a is transitively depending on c and importing it - and insteaed should be directly depending on it.

Thanks Dan! As it happens I'm hoping to make some time for this in the next few weeks. Tracked in #57175.

Feel free to chime in there (or re-open this if you think I closed it mistakenly).

I agree this is a duplicate. Thanks!
