Ok, lets say I "accidently" executed the command:

System: Debian - Etch
Thanks!

I'd look into writing something that takes the output of:
rpm -qa --queryformat "[%{FILENAMES} %{FILEMODES:perms}\n]"
which looks like this:
/usr/share/a2ps/encoding/iso1.edf -rw-r--r--
/usr/share/a2ps/encoding/iso10.edf -rw-r--r--
/usr/share/a2ps/encoding/iso13.edf -rw-r--r--
...
and fixes the permissions as necessary.
Oh, wait. You've got Debian? Well, since .deb is so much better than
rpm, I'm sure there's an equivalent functionality.
