Package: gnupg
Version: 1.2.5-3
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

As Bruce Schneier reports at http://www.schneier.com/blog/ the SHA-!
algorithm seems broken.

GnuPG should be changed to give strong warings whenever SHA-1 is used, and
maybe disable the usage of SHA-1 for new signatures altogether.

Thanks,
Markus
