Bug#66357: No MD5sums for (most) base files

[exa <erayo@cs.bilkent.edu.tr>]

Package: base
Version: N/A;
Severity: important

Today, I've had the chance to thrash my root filesystem. While I 
was recovering the root fs, I tried to find the corrupt files with
debsums. However, I then recalled that base files didn't really
have MD5sums with them. (Package x didn't come with checksums).

Of course, this isn't a debsums bug. The problem is that you would
expect the most important packages to come with checksums. For instance,
libc6. I suggest that all files in the base distribution come with
md5sums in proper.

Thanks,
