How about using find to get the list of all files and compare with a list of
files which are owner by all packages(use dpgk to get the list). That should
give you any file which is not installed by debian packages. I know very ugly 
way.


You can also try get the debian package of djb daemontools, djbdns downloaded
and use dpkg-deb -c <package> in order to get an idea of the files that are 
installed.

Hope it helps,
Pavlos
