These exploits are irrelevant as far as the Debian archive is
concerned.  (And that's not because hardly any sarge user verifies the
MD5 hashes, by the way. 8-)

Moving away from MD5 is certainly not a bad idea, but it's not clear
whether the alternatives are any better.  Sure, everyone recommends
SHA-256 at this stage, but nobody can give a rationale.
