Working on a fix for that specifically after running into a problem with 
Active Response trying to implement it.

The first piece is to abuse ActiveResponse, and to enable that this patch 
(https://gist.github.com/reyjrar/5663893) allows the passing of filename 
using "<expect>filename</expect>" in the command definition.  My colleagues 
are using this to build scripts to verify checksums against Puppet, Git, 
and rpm.  The same architecture could be leveraged to check against apt or 
whatever else.

I haven't tested this patch yet, but it does compile, I'll have a battle 
tested patch tomorrow.
