The severity is critical as it breaks several unrelated packages and
breaks security.

That was not the point of this fact. I'm fully with you but it doesn't
help in most cases as where do you want to get the correct fingerprint
from? There is no secure way if you cannot get it directly from the
server direct from the shell if you have no trust path.

Even more, it has been shown that users just klick on ok for unknown
certificates. So this make the problem even more urgent.
