Package: dpkg-sig
Version: 0.13.1+nmu4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

currently dpkg-sig uses MD5/SHA1 for the digest. Both are insufficient
for integrity protection and according to the Debian Wiki SHA-1 is being
phased out.

We would like to continue using dpkg-sig and would contribute to a new
version, but I wanted to first check with you before coming up with a
new digest format and submitting a patch.

* Is submitting a patch the preferred way to contribute?

* Is backwards compatibility also in the case of remote dpkg-sig
  required?

* Any other considerations?
