Also with Debian packages too. Each package has a *.md5sums file under 
/var/lib/dpkg/info. It can be used like:

 cd /
 for m in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*md5sums ; do md5sum -c $m ; done

This will have some false positives. And it is not as powerful or useful 
as the rpm queries though.

I suggest unplugging your network connection.
