My first attempt to fix this was to detect if there's a regex specified (in this specific case DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=README$ would have fixed the dh_md5sums bug) because -regex .*README$.* as built by dh_md5sums doesn't work (rightfully). I'm not sure if this could solve anything but shouldn't change dh behaviour that much (might be still worth considering for v6 though) thanks, filippo -- Filippo Giunchedi - http://esaurito.net PGP key: 0x6B79D401 random quote follows: Man was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired. -- Mark Twain
