Hi Adam

You should be aware that for the Debian package, in the hashcash
manpage, I removed references to sha1sum-hashcash (whoops, looks like I
also removed sha1sum, I'll re-add) because Debian already includes
sha1sum in one of its base packages, so it is not needed.

The exact patch that I had applied is:

***************
*** 47,55 ****

  A hashcash stamp constitutes a proof-of-work which takes a
  parameterizable amount of work to compute for the sender.  The
- recipient can verify received stamps efficiently. This package also
- includes a sha1 implementation which behaves somewhat like md5sum, but
- with SHA1.

  The hashcash proof-of-work function is to compute partial hash
  collisions (the SHA1 hash function is used).  By choosing the number
