RE: Package verification and "/usr/bin/install" tool replacements
debsums only does part of the job.
File permissions and ownerships are just as important to completely
verify a package.
It may not matter to "the guy at home with a linux box" but it
greatly matters to "the admin managing a large system".
Debian does not appear to cater for this latter group
My solution does.
