I would love to add it, but I don't have a rpm system here.  Maybe
Gustavo or Panu can add this to rpackage.

I like this idea as well. I already coded it for debian and will
commit it in a few minutes. The problem is that there is no "portable"
way (I know about) to get this information. So it has to be done
different for dpkg and rpm. The dpkg part is complette, I would love
to see someone sending me a patch for the rpm part :) 

And (at least for debian) it only possible to display the files that
belong to the package if the package is installed. 

bye,
 Michael
