For a start, on the Rogue level only the following traps can be
generated, with an equal chance of each: bear trap, arrow trap, dart
trap, trapdoor, pit, sleeping gas, rust trap. In Gehennom, 20% of all
traps generated will be fire traps (not counting the fixed traps like
the Sanctum temple surround or created by the bell-book-candle 
invocation), and fire traps will not be randomly created outside
Gehennom.

Traps can start appearing at the following levels:

1: arrow traps, dart traps, rock traps, squeaky boards, bear traps,
   rust traps, pits, holes, trapdoors, teleporters, magic traps,
   antimagic traps
2: rolling boulders, sleeping gas
5: level teleporters, spiked pits
6: landmines
7: webs
8: statue traps, polymorph traps

(Level) teleporters will never be created on non-teleport levels;
trapdoors and holes won't be created on levels where the floor's too
hard to dig.
