I did a little more research on this, and dpkg does help in some aspects,
except:

1) dpkg won't track anything done by installation scripts after dpkg does it's
configuration.  

2) dpkg won't track non-deb packages - such as tarballs.

So, question still stands... any other package that will handle this task?
