Updated link: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format#indices_acquisition_via_hashsums_.28by-hash.29 Two years have passed and we're still lacking this important feature. Kali is willing to put money on the table if it can help to get this implemented. Bernhard, do you have plans to work on this? Would you be willing to review and merge a patch implementing this feature? If you have upfront requirements, please share them in this ticket. Anyone interested to be paid to implement this feature can contact me privately (including you Bernhard) and we will work out the details.
