AFAICT, Whonix doesn't have any problems with old hashes and thus I
didn't include you in the To header of the mail I sent.

That said, you might want to ask the Tor Project to add
Label/Description headers to their Release files:

http://deriv.debian.net/Whonix/check-package-list

You might also want to investigate the version mismatches between
source package versions declared by Packages and those declared by
Sources (and vice-versa):

http://deriv.debian.net/Whonix/diff_source_packages
