Dear Maintainer,

md5sum.textutils is not needed anymore, debian codesearch shows that no package 
uses it. It can therefore be removed.

The main benefit is that typing md5s<Tab> will now result in 'md5sum ' (with 
the space after it) instead of just 'md5sum' (without the space).

Compare it to sha1s<Tab> which already autocompletes to 'sha1sum ' (with the 
space after it).

As an added benefit, it removes the misspelled word 'compatability'.
