Use md5 of a common system lib?

[cpaelzer]

Hi,
to be clear this is rather non-critical, but I wondered about it when checking the Debian libbackuppc-xs-perl package and wanted to ask out of being curious.

I've seen that you use md5 copied from rsync, I wonder if you'd consider stop using embedded code of other projects and instead use the one of a common sytem library like libbsd for example.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man3/md5.3bsd.html

I mean md5 isn't consider secure anymore anyway nor is it used for security in the context of this package.
But I just wondered about the copied code and that it would be nicer to not have that.

Maybe that was thought/tried/discussed before an there are reasons not to do so - if that is the case fine, but it would be nice to learn what those reasons were.
