rpm -qp --requires somelib-1.1-1.i386.rpm

Or you can use 'apt-cache depends' or 'apt-cache rdepends'.
The one thing which annoys me which you can't do with dpkg is verify a
package installation (ie. check that none of the files have been
modified).

There are a bunch of apt-related utility tools. They're available as
separate packages and not normally installed by default. For example,
apt-show-versions is extremely useful. In fact, just looking through
the list, I see:
$ apt-cache show apt-rdepends
Package: apt-rdepends
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 88

Depends: perl, libapt-pkg-perl (>= 0.1.11)
Suggests: springgraph | graphviz

Description: Recursively lists package dependencies
This utility can recursively list package dependencies, either forwards
or in reverse. It also lists forward build-dependencies. The output
format closely resembles that of `apt-cache depends`. As well, it can
generate .dot graphs, much like apt-cache in dotty mode.
