This hyphenation is done by groff, not by the man page itself. groff
doesn't currently have hyphenation patterns for German, so you have to
trust to luck somewhat.

However, the hyphenation can be manipulated in the md5sum.1 translation
itself. You can either write the word as:

ge\%knackt

Or, alternatively, you can put this request near the start of the
document to fix the hyphenation of all instances of that word:

.hw ge-knackt

See the "Manipulating Hyphenation" node in 'info groff' for more
information.

Cheers,
