Yes, probably the right solution. And even in this case, I still see as not harmful proceeding to fix the packages which are not using dh_md5sums atm. One of the reason is that no one yet showed code implementing this in dpkg and we don't know a timeframe for this, while we know how to get it working right now with dh_md5sums. The other reasons is that once we have the support in dpkg it would be easy to change dh_md5sums to nop, and just changing a bit of code in one place will delegate the task to dpkg from there on.
