I rather think this is dpkg's job. _(; We could (easily?) convert the .list files to a format looking like this (for each file): md5sum size owner group mode type filename b4f978d71d6dd8d4558632b5a185f28d 37760 root root 755 r /bin/ls (with type being 'r' for regular files, 'b', 'c', 'p', 'l' for (respectively) block and character devices, pipes, links). This is just an example, but I think this is all the info we need, and it could easily be done by dpkg-deb while making the package. Klee? Ian?
