Description
dts-critic already downloads the package and depends on (parts of) DT-tools, so it's probably the best place to add this. Would have prevented the need for https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/52789 by failing CI on https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/52668

Research direction
Start with dts-critic, which already downloads the package and uses parts of DT-tools. Determine where it can detect that the source package is already typed, then make CI fail for that case. Done means a DefinitelyTyped package relying on existing source types is rejected before it requires a separate cleanup pull request.
