Bug#525975: konqueror: Cannot verify SSL certificates as only the broken md5 digest is shown, must display SHA1 digest



Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important


As the md5 digest is broken enough [1], 
to verify a certificate a different digest should be displayed. 
Iceweasel also shows SHA1, this is what I think is best. 

Needless to say: This is a security issue with konqueror.

How to see the problem:
a) Try to go to https://debian.org/ (and make sure that you have not
   accepted the certifiacte or ca.debian.org before)
b) You get a question if you want to accept the certificate, press details.
c) The KDE-SSL-Information Konqueror window comes up.
Now you can only see the MD5-Digest.
Expectation: At least the SHA1-Digest should be shown in a detail. 

Note: the dialog might come from a different KDE packages, but the security
problem comes up with konqueror being used as a webbrowser, thus I believe this
is the right package to report against first.
