[HCoop-Discuss] package like "debbackup"?

[Adam Megacz]

o great and wise Collective Wisdom of The Hcoop,

Does anybody know of a package similar to "debbackup" which is still
maintained?  Basically I'm looking for something which will figure out
which files on a system either did not come from .deb packages or have
been modified since then.  The idea is to backup everything that would
*not* be restored by an "apt-get install <all-my-packages-here>".

Bonus points for being able to emit a list of such files so I can nag
admins who have modified files in places where we weren't expecting
them to be modified (like /usr).  In theory it wouldn't hurt us to
just back up everything, but I would sort of like to know where and
how our systems differ from a vanilla debian install so I can try to
minimize those aspects.

Anyways, it appears that debbackup never got accepted into debian.
