Hence my thought of having a tarball per package. I'm still a bit
worried about a post-unpack hook changing the package files to be
different from dpkg's file list for the package -- that could cause
safety problems. Is there a way to tell dpkg that the hook changed
the files? (May just be my ignorance)

Ah, I misunderstood. I was thinking about compressing
{,src}pkgcache.bin instead of the package lists... Ignore my comments
on that ;)
