In RPM based systems 'rpm -Va' will verify package contents against what is on disk. This will detect the following:
- changes in file ownership
- changes in file permissions
- deletion of files.
- changes in file contents.
Will 'debsums' do all of this?
I am particularly trying to discover if I have messed up the ownership and or permissions of some files in /etc and /home/storage/...
Thanks,

Old RedHat guy, looking for equivalent of rpm -Va command.
Hi,
Only reading on the package page http://packages.debian.org/sarge/debsums i get the impression that it wont detect changes in permissions and ownership of files. Seems only to verify file changes with md5 checksums.
Im unfortunately unaware in other utilities that would check this.
