--- Comment #21 from Henrik Krohns <apa...@hege.li> ---

sa-update thankfully has things very clear:

"sa-update by default will verify update archives by use of SHA256 and SHA512
checksums and GPG signature.  SHA* hashes can verify whether or not the
downloaded archive has been corrupted, but it does not offer any form of
security regarding whether or not the downloaded archive is legitimate
(aka: non-modifed by evildoers).  GPG verification of the archive is used to
solve that problem."

Debian/Ubuntu already have 3.4.2 and even RedHat seems to be getting SHA256
support, so hopefully will be good there:
