  Description     : ISO/block-level checksum utilities

isomd5sum is a set of utilities for implanting a MD5-like checksum in an 
ISO (or any block device), then verifying the checksum later.  isomd5sum 
is part of Anaconda; when you boot a RH/Fedora installer and select 
"verify cd", it's running isomd5sum.

isomd5sum is actually a subdirectory of the Anaconda tarball 
(anaconda-11.1.0.50.tar.bz2 as of this writing).  I am currently working 
on packaging so anaconda=11.1.0.50-1 is the source package, while 
isomd5sum=11.1.0.50-1 is the binary package.  Essentially a multi-binary 
package with only one binary package (now), if that makes sense.  That 
way, if any other part of Anaconda proves to be useful, multiple binary 
packages can be associated with the anaconda source package.

And before anybody asks, this has nothing to do with bug #222917.  I 
have no intention of packaging the RH Anaconda installer itself; it's 
just that one of the sets of utilities embedded within anaconda are 
useful on its own.

I am not a Debian developer, and this is my first ITP, so I will need 
someone to yell at me for the inevitable incorrect packaging methods 
when I do submit the package. :)
