Maybe the checksum is to be found at a different location, then.
The manpage of dh_md5susm says:

       All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are
       all conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).

  OPTIONS
       -x, --include-conffiles
           Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this
           information is redundant since it is included elsewhere in debian
           packages.

but is doesn't say where this "elsewhere" is :-(
