Which part of dpkg --help are you having trouble with sir? (same for apt-get / aptitude)

You can even install man-db-n900 and man-db-pages so you can do man dpkg for even more information.

Read. Understand. The freedom you desire already exists. This doesn't mean it's always a good idea - just like rm -rf / as root is not a good idea - nothing stops you from doing it though - and this is a good thing! Seriously. I wouldn't want it any other way.
