Apt support for sha256 checksums
Registered by
Michael Vogt
All code in apt that deals with authentication of packages should support sha256 checksums to support better security. Currently only md5 and sha1 are supported by default.
This needs support from soyuz to write out a SHA256 tag in the main Release file.
