Calm could create a database containing all the files from the tar

That already exists as the basis for package grep, albeit in the form of
a buiinch of text files.

There's probably another problem in terms of different file lists in
different package versions, though...
That is probably not too onerous to check for, but files moving from one
package to another is a different story.
This is certainly doable.
(There's a few more wrinkles, as calm doesn't presently concern itself
with trying to work out what the solver would install if you asked to
install "everything", considering 'obsoletes:', and maybe even explicit
'conflicts:' markers in hints, etc.)
I think this functionality needs to exist in setup as well, though, as
calm can't possibly have knowledge of packages you might be installing
from 3rd party overlay package repositories.
