Bug information belongs in the bug tracking system. If someone can
manually set up a link then it would not be much of an additional effort
to put up a manpage with some useful information.

debsums is used for md5sums generated *before* generating the .deb. They
will detect any tampering attempts or any other accidents in the whole
packaging in and out process. Its an attempt to guarantee that the files
are the way they were on the *maintainers* system.

I actually would like to have multiple packages offering the same
functionality in debian and I have released for example
multiple webservers and multiple MTAs with overlapping features.
I think the requirement for this discussion originated from a time when
