-By default, \fBdpkg\-buildpackage\fP put the system hostname and the
-current time in the name of the \fB.buildinfo\fP file. An arbitrary
-identifier can be specified as a replacement (since dpkg 1.18.5).
+Specify the identifier part of the \fB.buildinfo\fP file name (since dpkg
+1.18.5).
+By default, \fBdpkg\-buildpackage\fP will create an identifier using the
+current time and the first characters of the MD5 hash.
+An arbitrary identifier can be specified as a replacement.
 The identifier has the same restriction as package names: they
 must consist only of lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+)
 and minus (\-) signs, and periods (.), be at least two characters long
