Although debian packages may contain md5sums it seems package verification isnot available (unless I have missed something).
Although your proposition seems more complete, have you try debsums and checksecurity? debsums with the following feature in /etc/apt/apt.conf DPkg::Post-Invoke { "debsums --generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives"; }; Can be very handy in creating md5sums (BTW, I think it's a bug against policy to include md5sums in control files).
