Hi Kevin.

What method are you using to build debian packages? Files like md5sums
should be automatically generated.

For my own Debian packages I use the following tools:

cdbs - Greatly simplifies debian/rules
pbuilder - Build packages under a chroot to ensure binary
compatibility with a given Debian release
lintian - Check that debs are tidy (files in correct places, etc)
piuparts - Check that packages install/upgrade/remove/purge/etc
cleanly under a chroot.

These should be fine for Ubuntu also.

David.

PS: Please start checking the .deb files with lintian.
