[Bug 1100295] Re: MD5 is insecure, add modern hashing

[Nikita Yerenkov-Scott]

When I commented on this earlier to say it really does need looking
into, I was actually meaning the issue in dpkg, not debsums, that's up
to the developer of that to fix if they want to. And users should be
free to make such requests.
