I just realized that we could also use the mtime of the "md5sums"
file (for an installed package we can use
/var/lib/dpkg/info/<pkg>.md5sums) as a buildtime indicator.
If we use this approach it would really simplify the code - the only
"problem" is that this check will fail if a package has no files (so
an already installed package might be installed again).

Any opinions?:)
