md5 checksums on binaries

[silvio@ns.rocknet.net.au]

Are md5 checksums available for individiual binaries within
each package?  

This, would IMO provide a means for authenticating a systems
binaries on an already installed system, _before_ locking it up
with something like tripwire.. (if you havent just done a clean
reinstall)

ie, I dont want to run tripwire until the binaries I monitor have
been authenticated.

I would like to see these md5sums available on the main debian 
sites, and wont use them (nor I hope anyone else) until they
have been verified.

I think that the entire Debian community would benefit from this.

any comments?
