Hi there!

IMHO we should replace SHA1 with SHA256.  Here is the patch, which also
fixes the fact that algorithms are uppercase:

 Here's what you have to do with this file:
 (1) Print this file to paper.
-(2) Compute this file's MD5 checksum and optionally also its SHA1 checksum.
-   gpg --print-md md5  $output  (or use md5sum)
-   gpg --print-md sha1 $output  (or use sha1sum)
+(2) Compute this file's MD5 and SHA256 checksums.
+   gpg --print-md MD5    $output  (or use md5sum)
+   gpg --print-md SHA256 $output  (or use sha256sum)
 (3) Fill in the hash values on the printout.
 (4) Bring the printout, a pen, and proof of identity to the key signing party
     (and be on time!).

While the FOSDEM 2011 and 2012 Keysigning Parties replaced MD5 with
RMD160, I think that MD5 should stay there, given that it is (sort of)
ubiquitous and also because there is no rmd160sum utility on a default
Debian.

Thx, bye,
