Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.1.2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

If a high-level package manager wants to know are the installed version
of the package and a version in the repository really the same, it
cannot check this fact reliably now, as hash sum fields provided from
the repository are not present in the dpkg local database.

Please allow to add additional fields for the installation, like

dpkg --install package.deb --addfield 'SHA1: 
bd49e198a2ff0e639ee987dbe241924a8f14f6e7'
