On our server, only "ckermit" provides such a file. Perhaps it should be a required part of every Debian package?

This would be just what I would like (plus a "reinstall" option to dpkg, so any found problems could be corrected). It would be nice if the package could pull the md5sums out of the packages themselves, rather than rely on a separate (possibly out of sync) database. And as a last resort, such a utility could generate the md5sums itself from the packages as it worked. Does anyone have dpkgcert.deb? If it's unavailable, such a thing can't be that hard to write...
