Two observations FYI. Firstly, recent copies of GNU find (at least
Etch onwards) support -exec {} +, e.g.

    find -type f -exec md5sum {} +

instead of 

    find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum

Secondly, if you place the pipe operator at the end of a line instead
of the start, you can avoid the icky continuation lines, e.g.

    aptitude search ~i -F %p |
    fmt

instead of

    aptitude search ~i -F %p \
        | fmt

Have a nice day.
