I'm not sure it will happen since Craig is focused on the next
version, though it wouldn't be hard to add if you are so inclined to
get down and dirty with the code.
However, remember that you would probably only want to store the
partial md5sum itself and not the chain suffix since that can be
changed by BackupPC_nightly and there is no easy way to back-identify
all pc files pointing to a pool entry. So, whenever you have pool
collisions, you would still need to "iterate" through the chain to
find the right pool file. Still this is generally a relatively rare event
(percentage wise).... (though you will get a little more than your
share since you have collisions due to max inode count being exceeded too)

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
