Given that a) we're almost there, and b) adding a debsums (or dh_md5sums) invocation to debian/rules isn't exactly an intrusive change, I'm not sure that 'excessive' is the right word. I'd call it 'ambitious', perhaps overly so, but it should be doable. Of course, whether we decide to indeed do so would be up to the release managers. I'm inclined to agree that it's too late to add another checksum algorithm at this point in time; that should be a release goal for squeeze+1. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html
