12 dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating a
13 DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the
14 package. These files are used by dpkg --verify or the debsums(1)
15 program.
16
17 All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are all
18 conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).
19
20 The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.
21
23 -x, --include-conffiles
24 Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information
25 is redundant since it is included in /var/lib/dpkg/status in Debian
26 packages.
27
28 -Xitem, --exclude=item
29 Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
30 being listed in the md5sums file.
