The permissions of /tmp are likely to be changed if you: cd /tmp tar xfz ... As the tar archive contains an entry for the current directory, the /tmp directory gets usually permissons of 755 after this. No idea what might happend to /var/spool. To answer your question, I don't know of such a file permission list (except for suid programs). The base-files package, for example, contains the /tmp directory including its correct permission, but the permissions are not part of the /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.list file.
