Title:
  [MIR] libmd (dependency of libbsd)

Status in libmd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  libmd has been on Universe since Xenial and builds on all supported archs. Hirsute currently has 1.0.3-3.

  [Rationale]
  libbsb has a new dependency on libmd since 0.11.1-1 (0.10 or earlier didn't)
  - libbsd0 depends on libmd0
  - libbsd build-depends on libmd-dev

  [Security]
  - found no CVEs related to libmd on Mitre, Openwall, and Ubuntu CVE tracker (main, universe, and tracker).
  - no suid binaries on libmd0
  - package provides no service files
  - package does not require network (no open ports)

  [Quality assurance]
  - libmd0 1.0.3-3 depends only on libc6 (ie. no weird deps)
  - libmd 1.0.3-3 build depends only on debhelper-compat
  - no bug has ever been logged for libmd in both launchpad[1] and debian[2]
  - homepage lists no upstream bug tracker [3]
  - upstream maintainer is Guillem Jover
  - package ships with a testsuite
  - testsuite does not need network nor weird hardware
  - testsuite is run during build
  - has autopkgtests [4]
  - autopkgtest fails on i386 (not a blocker)
  - autopkgtest succeeded on amd64, ppc64el, s390x
  - package has a debian/watch file
  - 'lintian --pedantic' indicates no packaging issues

  [Dependencies]
  - libmd0 1.0.3-3 depends: libc6
  - libmd 1.0.3-3 build-depends: debhelper-compat

  [Standards compliance]
  Package meets Debian Policy 4.5.1 (latest as of 2021-02-09).
  Package meets FHS.

  [Maintenance]
  Package is small and well maintained in Debian by it's upstream main  developer (Guillem Jover).

  [Background information]
  Package description is correct and succint:
  'The libmd library provides various
   message digest ("hash") functions,
   as found on various BSDs on a
   library with the same name and with a
   compatible API.'
