I agree. What I meant when I said that "opkg status" output is pretty rough is
that it is making blanket assumptions, and dumping unprocessed metadata. Dpkg -V
analyses the md5sum of each file to determine if it changed, and reports changed
files. While opkg currently only stores the md5sum of conffiles, I think opkg
status should behave similarly to dpkg -V (for conffiles, at least).

Do you mind filing a bug ticket on bugzilla for opkg?
