most(all?) of the scripts that execute from debian packages are in
/var/lib/dpkg/info
while a longshot, installing something like debsums may help to determine
if there are a lot of files modified, many configuration files won't be
able to be checked by this since they are modified after package installation,
but it may help detect stuff in /bin or /sbin that may of been curropted.
good luck
