Yes we should set up such automated task.  jdeps --check $MODULE will 
find unused qualified exports.

$ jdeps --check java.base
java.base (jrt:/java.base)
   [Unused qualified exports in java.base]
     exports jdk.internal.math to java.desktop
     exports jdk.internal.misc to java.sql,jdk.jdeps
     exports jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm to jdk.internal.vm.ci
     exports jdk.internal.perf to java.desktop
     exports jdk.internal.vm.annotation to jdk.internal.vm.ci
     exports sun.net.www to jdk.incubator.httpclient
     exports sun.nio.ch to jdk.sctp
     exports sun.nio.cs to java.desktop
     exports sun.reflect.misc to java.xml
     exports sun.security.x509 to jdk.security.auth
     exports sun.text.resources to jdk.localedata

We will have to go through them if any package is accessed through 
reflection.   I create JDK-8200121 to track this.
