The stretch version of scp displays fingerprints using a SHA256 hash,
but of course a jessie machine has no idea of what its fingerprint
is except using an MD5 hash. A question and suggestion:

Is there a way to get stretch scp to show the fingerprint in MD5
when connecting to a new (jessie) host?

IIRC the debian-installer only shows the SHA256 fingerprint.
It ought to display the MD5 version too, for those people
installing over the network with ssh from an older machine.

Cheers,
David.
