Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.4

It would be nice it lintian would report a warning for -doc package
generated by doxygen containing internal md5 check. As per upstream:

> what are the gazillions of *.md5 and *.map files doing in the html tree
> doxygen generates?
> Are those files needed for anything when viewing the html doc created?

No they are needed to speed up the regeneration of the output when this is done
in an incremental fashion (i.e. without first deleting all output files).
If a graph has not changed it will have the same md5 signature, so doxygen
knows it will not have to invoke the dot tool.

for info a couple of packages seems to be affected:
