Please remember that you're speaking to a recent convert from Mandrake.
There, all I would have to do would be 'rpm -V `which top`' and rpm would
tell me if the md5sum had been changed from the original package. Does dpkg
have a similar funcitonality? I couldn't find mention of it in the man page.
Right now I'm fiddling with md5sum, but if I understand correctly, that only
tells me the md5sum of the current file, it can't verify that the md5 sum is
"correct" (goes back to the "it's smart, not magic" argument).
