Hi,

I guess this would be a good cheat sheet for going from apt to rpm (or
vice-versa): http://nakedape.cc/wiki/PackageManagerCheatsheet

Well... not so good since it doesn't answer your last question. I
guess that verifying the validity of installed files of a specific
installed .deb package is best done through the "debsums" command
(from the package of the same name.

Here is a link to the debian repository :
