One thing I've been pondering about is: are there any good reasons
*not* to have an md5sums control file?
It seems to me that the time spent to generate it on the buildds is
probably insignificant compared to the total time needed to build
the package... And since generating it can be done with a trivial
shell command, it's not a complexity issue either.
