The package technically looks good (one nitpick: rm debian/clean, but this
is too minor to really bother). I'm ready to upload at any time.
But, with md5 thoroughly broken, do you have any reason to include this
library? It's unfit for cryptographic purposes, and there exist much faster
hashes for non-crypto uses.
Thus, I'd recommend introducing this package only if you have some actual
use -- such as another package wanting to depend on it.
