Well, once you have the permissions set up the way you want them, you can
use tripwire (available from ftp.cert.org) to make sure that they and
your programs remain intact. It would be nice if some of the
distributions could ship with tripwire and a tripwire database.
symlinks will check for dangling symlinks, and some other stuff.
