That misses files generated in postinst.
How about something like this:
cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.conffiles

Just because dbackup is in experimental doesn't mean that it is
unsupported, it just means that it is untested. Kind of like beta,
or alpha code. I use dupload in experimental all of the time, and it
isn't unsupported.

Hi,
I just tested a package dbackup in experimental. It is exactly
what I want: a list of files in my computer that are not a part
of debian system. Is there another, more supported way to accomplish
the same?
