No, paccheck does not have an option to do this. You could try
submitting a feature request for it. :)

You can extract everything between the '' though, which I think should
handle any filenames since packaged filenames can contain spaces or
single quotes but not newlines, and the paccheck output doesn't contain
any more single quotes after the quoted filename.
