Has actually anyone checked, if Debian might already provide these?
Oh, look, http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.8/i386/iso-cd/
contains not only md5sums, bus also sha1 and sha256 (as - BTW - do the
Release files used during Package installation via Network).
So that problem is actually only outdated documentation. Now, if
someone could create a list of our webpages, mentioning md5, we can try
to actually fix them.
