This screws up the otherwise regular { Field [ field_extension ] } [...]
file structure. However, I get the point about md5sum, and I understand
your argument regarding ls.
(Sigh....)
OK, the "Files" field would be an exception. It'd be required to be
the final field in the file, would contain just "Files:", and would
be followed by `ls -l` and `md5sum` verbatim output. It'd look like:
Files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 372254 Oct 25 12:40 e2-2.0.beta-2.deb
