Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu and GNU software
better. As Pádraig commented above, this has already been discussed
upstream, and there is a consensus among the Coreutils maintainers *not*
to do it.
As such, closing invalid (not a bug). We will not create a delta for
this.
It was discussed at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2014-04/msg00025.html
and thought simple enough already by doing:
md5sum < the_file | cut -b1-32
