Package: wajig
Version: 2.0.37
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Debian policy recommends that all binary packages contain an 'md5sums'
control file. The following command shows that a package built from
this source package does not contain this file.
$ lintian --info --display-info --check-part md5sums ./wajig_2.0.37_all.deb
[...]
I: wajig: no-md5sums-control-file
N:
N: This package does not contain an md5sums control file. This control
N: file listing the MD5 checksums of the contents of the package is not
N: required, but if present debsums can use it to verify that no files
N: shipped with your package have been modified. Providing it is
N: recommended.
N:
N: If you are using debhelper to create your package, just add a call to
N: dh_md5sums at the end of your binary-indep or binary-arch target,
N: right before dh_builddeb.

The attached patch changes the 'debian/rules' file to generate the
'md5sums' file for this package, and causes the above command to run
cleanly (with no output).
If there is a specific reason for avoiding the recommended 'md5sums'
file and not applying this patch or something similar, could you
please explain in this bug entry.
