yes, if you have a tripwire (or other integrity checker) database
around... otherwise only manually. i always have `ls -lR /` outputs
stored in /root for a couple of weeks for that case...

but: why not save your /etc, /home, and /var, dpkg --get-selections
into a file, reinstall, and then one after the other restore your
settings? that might be faster...
