detected in path 'usr/share/doc/module-init-tools/changelog.Debian.gz'. Please
file a bug against module-init-tools.
So it seems this is a bug in debsums, probably it assumes that there are
no symlinked files in the relevant md5sums files.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/module-init-tools.md5sums file is just one line:
c629c0d493d1b6559648de3f63d398d9 usr/share/doc/module-init-
tools/changelog.Debian.gz
But /usr/share/doc/module-init-tools is a symlink. And module-init-tools
(24-1ubuntu3.2) itself is a pretty empty package, it just has that one
file anyhow, and nothing depends on it, it can be removed. (It's only
available in bionic anyway.)
