Title:
  Using md5sum to verify each ISO package

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
