Just so it's clear, this information is only available after packages have 
been built, and is saved in the tmp/pkgdata directory. I'm not sure if it 
would really be appropriate to add this functionality to BitBake itself, 
however in OE-Core there's a very basic command-line tool called oe-pkgdata-
util which performs one type of querying on the pkgdata/ directory and could 
be extended to query the package file lists.

Cheers,
Paul
