You can try reinstalling all installed packages. I don't know if it messes up with any configuration files, but it sure redownloaded the packages back into the cache directory.

I found the answer here using keywords "repack installed deb": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201524
The program that you need is called dpkg-repack . You may need to apt-get install it.
