Public bug reported:

SRU

We link most extensions as built-ins into the python binary. the md5_*
symbols cause a conflict with external libs/extensions.  So just use the
_Py-* namespace for these. See the Debian report for details.

These are internal functions for the md5 module. Renaming them to the
_Py_* namespace avoids the conflict.  There should not be any case where
these are intentionally referenced. At least in the archive there are no
known references, so the regression potential is limited to external
binaries, and there it should be minimal to non-existing as well.
