Looking at the Release file contents, I don't think we need to.
It already has sha1 and sha256 checksums of the d-i files now.
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/Release

The only reason to provide standalone MD5SUM or other files is for users
who want a rough check of a d-i image, not something with a
cryptographically secure trust path.

The real d-i fallout from the Release file changes is that it breaks
debootstrap (and cdebootstrap but I am not going to spend any time on
that).
