Take a look at debsums to find changed files. As to new files... (for i in `dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1`; do dpkg -L $i; done;) | sort | uniq will get a list of files. find can be used (ie: find / | sort ) to get a list, then you could use diff to figure out whats different between the two files. A regular expression grep could be used to figure out just the additions or subtractions between the two files.
