Bug#975331: release-notes: Installation guide: No instructions for verifying image integrity after download



Package: release-notes
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 0xloem@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I'm pursuing installing Debian using the netboot concatenatable SD card images
in debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/ , and I found it
seems very hard to verify their signatures.

I checked on irc in #debian and was referred to the documentation, but we
discovered that instructions for this are missing from
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/arm64/ch04s02.en.html .

I was referred to the internals of a source package to find tools to accomplish
this very basic task.

It is important to provide a reasonable way to verify the integrity of
installation media.
