First, at where have you got the ISO file?
http://cdimage.debian.org/

If you see some symlink of package on windows, you will get
that information. Please tell me a package name that md5sum
is incorrect, of course with full path.

Because automake_1.4-8.deb that you saw in the directory was
symlink in other directory. Such as,

lftp> ls -l automake_1.4-8.deb
lrwxrwxrwx   1 debian   debian         41 Feb 16 18:50 automake_1.4-8.deb -> ../../binary-all/devel/automake_1.4-8.deb
lftp> cd  ../../binary-all/devel/
lftp> ls -l automake_1.4-8.deb
-rw-rw-r--   1 debian   debian     282184 Mar 13  2000 automake_1.4-8.deb
