Well, RC buggy is probably a tad excessive for this release, considering
that we are (I hope :)) close to a freeze. But I agree with the
principle, actually I've been surprised *positively* by the numbers
reported by Wouter and by those I've found on my laptop:
zack@usha:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ dpkg -l |grep ^ii |wc -l
2629
zack@usha:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ ls *md5sums|wc -l
2603
zack@usha:/var/lib/dpkg/info$
Almost all packages (I've installed) ship md5sums, while the situation
was almost reverted a few releases ago.
I'm curious about what contributed to this positive change (dh7 and/or
CDBS invoking dh_md5sums by default?), any idea?
Cheers.
