Suspecting a package has been compromised by another application
or a virus or so? Run this tool to find out if anything happened
to the files.
== For the system administrator ==
In order to have md5sums for all installed packages from the downloaded
binary packages via APT:
1. Install this debsums package while enabling auto-gen (default).
2. Run debsums_init from root while having consistent /etc/apt/sources.list

Filtering output of the cron job
---------------------------------
debsums now filters the output of the daily cron job by excluding
the contents of /etc/debsums-ignore
You can add lines to this file using the following format (similar to
logcheck):
E.g.
^/usr/bin/module-assistant$
^/usr/share/misc/pci.ids$

== For the package developer ==
To generate md5sums in debian/rules from any package:
1. chdir to debian/<binary-package-name> (or whatever it is called)
2. Run the following commands (excerpt from debstd)
md5sum `find * -type f ! -regex "DEBIAN/.*"` >DEBIAN/md5sums </dev/null
chmod 644 DEBIAN/md5sums
Christoph Lameter <clameter@debian.org>
3. The same can be accomplished by running dh_md5sums
