Try debsums. Not all packages have it, but some do. Also a few weeks
ago there was a thread on this. I think they came up with a way of
using tar and the .debs that were laying around to verify the installs.
Also there was another thread a few days ago about how to reinstall the
entire system. It basically told apt to reinstall all the packages by
using the output from dpkg --get-selections.
