Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.

This is not a bug. Coreutils (as most of GNU packages) uses Texinfo as
the primary source for documentation. The man pages are a summary
*only*; for full docs, the user is referred to 'info':

The  full  documentation  for md5sum is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
       If the info and md5sum programs are properly installed  at  your  site,
       the command

              info coreutils 'md5sum invocation'

       should give you access to the complete manual.

As such, closing this as not-a-bug.

** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
