[gnutls-help] Disabling SHA-1 in Debian oldstable/stretch

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

Debian stretch 09 will probably get its last gnutls update before
reaching EOL.

We are pondering whether we should follow Ubuntu's example
(USN-4233-1 / USN-4233-2) and stop trusting signatures using SHA-1 by
default and adding supprt for %VERIFY_ALLOW_BROKEN and
%VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_WITH_SHA1 priority strings.

We currently tend to do so, what would appreciate a second opinion from
GnuTLS upstream.
