Lots of packages shipping with broken md5sums

It's strange indeed, but it's not the fault of dpkg. dpkg is not generating the md5sums files. I guess the problem is related to pkgbinarymangler. IIRC it shortens the changelog.Debian.gz files, and optimizes .png file, and other operations like this.

The wrong md5sums for changelog symlinks was fixed in bug 795845:

pkgbinarymangler (100) oneiric; urgency=low

  * test/run: Add forgotten check_deb_integrity() to documentation symlink
    tests. This catches the wrong md5sums of symlinked doc files.
  * pkgstripfiles: Remove doc files from md5sums which get replaced with a
    symlink. (LP: #795845)
  [...]

So we need no-change rebuilds of these packages. Most of them will fix themselves with the merges/syncs in precise. However, I'll keep one task open to do no-change rebuilds for the remaining packages after the autosyncs are done.

I verified that rebuilding consolekit against current pkgbinarymangler fixes this. Opening task for another affected package to keep an open task for beta-1 to fix the rest.

This bug was fixed in the package consolekit - 0.4.5-1build1

gnome-media got merged on debian and uploaded since, closing the bug

Adding another affected package to keep an open task.

lp-i is fine as well now. Moving task to an affected package.

I checked the whole main archive now, this is the list of remaining packages with broken md5sums:

These are the packages which are not seeded anywhere and thus can build during the beta-1 freeze.

Can this be SRUed to Oneiric?
