Eliminate libm dependency for casper-md5check

[Loïc Grenié]

Package: casper
Version: 1.132ubuntu0.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

casper-md5check needs libm to run for the single floorl function that
is called in a single point to create an integer.  The floorl function
is useless where it is called, the automatic conversion is sufficient.
I propose the following patch, which allows to remove libm from the
initramfs (150Kb on i386).
