A tiny program to help md5sum all debian packages

[Amos Shapira <amos@dsi.co.il>]

Hello,

Attached below is a tiny awk(1) program which will extract the md5sum
information of all the packages listed in a Packages file.  The output
is in a format fit for "md5sum -c".

I cound't find such a functionality in any of the Debian package
manuals so I hope this helps others.

(it found least 5 corrupted files in my local mirror of buzz-fixed,
I'm re-copying these files to see if the problem is local to my copy).

Cheers,

--Amos
