[Bug 1897930] [NEW] Using md5sum to verify each ISO package

[fossfreedom]

Public bug reported:

Apologies if this is the wrong package to report against.

When booting an ISO the check to verify the ISO integrity is run.

Pressing escape from the plymouth screen I note that md5sum is reported
to be used to verify the contents.

Suggest sha256 in the future especially as sha256 is now used when
publishing the ISO.
