Check-Script: md5sums
Author: Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>
Abbrev: md5
Type: binary
Needs-Info: md5sums, bin-pkg-control, unpacked
Info: This script checks if md5sum control files are valid, if they are
 provided by a binary package.

Tag: no-md5sums-control-file
Severity: wishlist
Certainty: certain
Info: This package does not contain an md5sums control file.  This control
 file listing the MD5 checksums of the contents of the package is not
 required, but if present debsums can use it to verify that no files
 shipped with your package have been modified.  Providing it is
 recommended.
 .
 If you are using debhelper to create your package, just add a call to
 <tt>dh_md5sums</tt> at the end of your binary-indep or binary-arch
 target, right before <tt>dh_builddeb</tt>.
