+=head1 NAME
+
+deb-md5sums - package MD5 file digests
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<DEBIAN/md5sums>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+A package declares the MD5 digests for the package file contents by
+including an I<md5sums> file in its control archive (i.e. I<DEBIAN/md5sums>
+during package creation). This file is used for integrity verification
+and deduplication purposes, and not for any kind of security purpose.
+
+This file contains a list of MD5 digests (as 32 case-insensitive hexadecimal
+characters) followed by two spaces (U+0020 B<SPACE>) and the absolute
+pathname of a plain file, one per line.
+
+Trailing slashes (U+002F B</>) in the pathname will be trimmed.
+Neither trailing whitespace nor empty or whitespace-only lines are accepted.
+
+If the control file does not exist in the binary package, L<dpkg(1)> will
+generate the matching information at unpack time (since B<dpkg> 1.16.3).
