| Subject: | Added manpage for the 'shasum' binary |
The provided script, shasum, does not have a manpage - Debian requires a manpage for all the files installed in the /usr/bin directory. I did a small patch to your file, basically copying the 'usage' information to POD. I also escaped some backticks/apostrophes in the usage information that made it awkward to be edited in Emacs, as they broke syntax-highlighting.
Thanks a lot!

+=head1 NAME
+shasum - Print or check SHA checksums
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Usage: shasum [OPTION] [FILE]...
+ or: shasum [OPTION] --check [FILE]
+Print or check SHA checksums.
+With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
+
+ -a, --algorithm 1 (default), 224, 256, 384, 512
+ -b, --binary read files in binary mode (default on DOS/Windows)
+ -c, --check check SHA sums against given list
+ -t, --text read files in text mode (default)
+
+The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums:
+ --status don't output anything, status code shows success
+ -w, --warn warn about improperly formatted MD5 checksum lines
+
+ --help display this help and exit
+ --version output version information and exit
+
+The sums are computed as described in FIPS PUB 180-2. When checking,
+the input should be a former output of this program. The default
+mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type
+(`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.
