[debhelper-devel] Bug#776853: dh_md5sums: please remove lines 80-84 + line 87

[Rhonda D'Vine]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20120909
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

 the dh_md5sums script contains line to explicitly not package an empty
md5sums file.  This complexity doesn't really gain us anything anymore
since dpkg does create missing md5sums files on installation since
1.16.3.  The reasoning given thus is flawed and wrong.  It only saves a
few bytes in the data.tar.gz of the package, which is not really worth
the complexity.

 Thanks,
Rhonda
