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

[Nikita Yerenkov-Scott]

I don't see an issue with users requesting debsums to support SHA-256 as
well as MD5. Also, why are you marking the issue in dpkg as "Won't Fix"?
it is an important thing to be fixed in dpkg, they shouldn't still be
using MD5.
