Is there an option to dpkg (or it's friends) to verify that what's
currently installed is the same as what should be installed?  In other
words, if random cracker person decides to break into my system and
change login, ls, and ps, can I compare from a .deb file that those
programs are correct or not (using md5 checksums or some such)?

I don't acutally suspect my system was broken into, but a friend of
mine was as such and I want to be prepared.

thanks,
