I'm not sure we should push for this right now. On the dpkg Roadmap, there's already stuff concerning all this: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/RoadMap Merge back debsums: * Generate checksums at build and install time. http://bugs.debian.org/155676 * Store metadata from .deb at install time. * Add a new dpkg-foo to verify, restore, etc metadata.
