While I appreciate your efforts to raise security-relevant topics within the Debian distribution, I have to admit that exactly the same happens to quite a few of your "meta-bugreports" as well. There's a lot of discussion and a few changes here and there, but then the bugreport is forgotten and nobody cares anymore. If you feel like keeping track of those distro-wide changes, I think a properly maintained wiki page is much more appropriate for that purpose. > Also, I think that supporting broken algorithms actually *is* a bug :) In most cases your claim is true, but in some cases there might be reasons for keeping support for old/broken algorithms. General statements like that one don't help too much. Instead, I suggest to file individual bugreports against particular packages, ideally already with suggestions/patches on how to fix them.
