Bug description:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5#Collision_vulnerabilities - MD5 is
  comprehensively broken at this point. Debsums still claims to be using
  md5.

  Perhaps it is time to either remove debsums as being insufficient to
  the task, or upgrade the hash that debsums uses to a stronger hash.
