** Description changed:
debootstrap currently hardcodes SHA_SIZE to 256 in
./debootstrap/debootstrap which fails with the new SHA512 only stonking
index files.
- I assume this also affects livecd-rootfs and causes the recent image
- build failures.
+ This is also affecting livecd-rootfs builds of stonking (one buildlog
+ example:

The fix here would be to first check if SHA512 is available and then
falling back to SHA256 (we must prefer sha512 over sha256 since the by-
hash/ folders are only guaranteed to exist for the strongest hash in the
Release file).
```
