I'm sorry for not being clear in the previous mail, I'll try to rephrase:

problem: dh_md5sums excludes unwanted files because of #242834 (find -regex etc)
my temporary (hackish) solution: append excluded files to DEBIAN/md5sums

I just realized that this is really cdbs' fault because dh_md5sums and
dh_builddeb are called together thus it is impossibile to hook, I'm reassigning
the bug and see if cdbs' maintainers have a clue.

thanks,
filippo
