Well, propose a solution. We just find -type f -exec md5sum {} \;. We'd
have to -print "filename symlink" for any simlink file (add -o -type l
-printf <something>?). I don't know.
Because we pass -type f, we do not handle symlinks at all. So replacing
a file with a symlink is equivalent to deleting it from dh_autoreconf's
perspective.
My testing with printf says:
-o -type l -printf "%p symlink to %l\n"
should work. Even includes the path, so you can detect changed symlinks.
