dpkg has made the md5sum.textutils binary from the coreutils binary
unavailable in its original path. A package must not remove files from
another package. dpkg did this by placing a local diversion. This local
diversion does not (by definition) have an association with a debian
package, so it is indistinguishable from an actual local diverison
(created by the local administrator).

It's diverting it, not removing it. In addition, where are you getting
this "must not" directive from, other than out of your arse?

This is a common practice, there are many packages that do just this.
There's no bug here. Please just update the coreutils package to place
md5sum in the right place.

Have you ever, ever felt like this?
Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
