I'm still not quite sure what y'all are looking for.
If you want a tool that generates reports like "on this
date you installed this pkg, which touched these files, and
then on this date you deinstalled this pkg, which touched
these files, and then on this date you reinstalled this
pkg but aborted the operation part way through, so these
files are now zorched, then on this date you down-revved
this pkg so these files got reverted, etc, etc" then I
suspect you're out of luck.  If any distribution offers
capabilities like that I'll be impressed.

Meanwhile, allow me to suggest "man dpkg-query" ...
