That's a great result.

Can you suggest a means of searching for more occurrences of this bug
(a non-free MD5 implementation in an otherwise-free work) in Debian?

Hopefully one that is more automated than “manually trawl the source
code”; it doesn't have to be perfect, but quickly finding more would be
a good way to capitalise on this success.
