As I thought... I wonder though, don't we want to make them mandatory,
for easier "verifying" of installed packages? (A little like rpm -V on
RH based distro's.)

Doh!
man apt-get:
--reinstall
Re-Install packages that are already installed and
at the newest version. Configuration Item:
APT::Get::ReInstall.
Sorry, I didn't see that. (Since when was this available, why did I
think there wasn't this kind of option?)
Thanks a lot,
