Package: debsums (1.0)

Tools to handle md5sums for installed packages

This package contains instructions and the tools for having packages generate md5sums for all their files as also done by the debstd script of debmake. The package also contains a script to generate md5sum files for debian packages which do not install an md5sum file. The md5sum will be generated after the package is installed by invoking debsums_gen.

The package also allows comparing the md5sums in a .deb file with the current installed files by extracting the md5sums file from the .deb
