Is this still open?

Sounds rather critical (MD5 is really severly broken)...


IMHO APT's behaviour with respect to verifying signatures should generall be 
the follwoing:

Secure APT should always verify _all_ of the present sums and fail if
_any_ of them doesn't match.... and it should _always_ expect at least
one hash some type to be present (i.e. a secure one like SHA3, or
SHA512)... and fail it that one is not present.
