If there's no obvious way to do it that I'm simply overlooking, I might try my hand at adding such an option.
If I may butt in, cryzed:

In my experience, when a story gets deleted or only some chapters get deleted, calibre plugin will skip the update automatically with the message that either the story does not exist or the story you're trying to download has fewer chapters than the file you already have. The sole requirement for that to happen is that you choose the option "update epub if new chapters" instead of "overwrite if newer" option.
