I use the following script I wrote some time ago. It uses the file in
/var/lib/dpkg/info to determine which files are conffiles (*.conffiles)
and what the md5sum of the file was as distributed (*.md5sums). Any
conffiles that differ are printed out (with a leading M - cvs style).
Unfortunately it is not as useful as I had hope it would be because a
lot of packages do not ship with a .md5sums file in /var/lib/dpkg/info
so there's no way to tell if a file has changed from how it was
distributed. These conffiles are printed with a leading ? - cvs style.
