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.
Cheers,
