** Description changed: SRU justification: - [Impact] Configuration of whether to generate SHA512 checksums for Packages files in apt-ftparchive doesn't work properly. + [Impact] Configuration of whether to generate SHA512 checksums for Packages files in apt-ftparchive doesn't work properly; setting APT::FTPArchive::Packages::SHA512 to false in fact disables SHA256 checksums. [Test Case] Generate Packages files with APT::FTPArchive::Packages::SHA512 set to each of true and false, and make sure both work. [Regression Potential] Confined to apt-ftparchive. Probably best to diff Packages/Sources files before and after.
