[Since it's not > specific to the rpm format, but the rpm site.] There is an index file in the installation tree (RedHat/base/hdlist), and a program to generate it. The file format is concatenated headers, which is very easy to load into librpm for dependency processing, etc. This format could also easily be used for contrib trees, etc. And it is much cheaper to generate than the Debian "Packages" files currently are. (Last I checked, this required a md5sum of every package.) But this should be discussed on rpm-list, not debian-devel.
