Thanks for making your lintian output available; I'm now going to fix
the bugs! A couple of questions and comments, though:

What does this mean? I'd guess it has to do with the line in the
extended description which starts with an elipsis (...)?

These are deliberately left out of the md5sums file because they are
conffiles. dpkg already records md5sums for conffiles in the status
file. OTOH, if you can give me a reason why I should include them, I
will.
In fact, I'm not sure why you're checking for this anyway... md5sums
files are not yet Policy, are they?

In the /usr/doc/*/copyright, I suppose? In that file, I report what
the copyrights and licences actually ARE. I should not change them
from what the author(s) wrote. This should therefore be downgraded to
a warning, or dropped altogether.
Thanks,
