   Should this bugreport be reassigned and merged into #1128414?   
      
   It was nice beeing reminded of for instance   
      
   tor (0.2.0.26-rc-1) experimental; urgency=critical   
      
     * weak cryptographic keys   
      
       It has been discovered that the random number generator in Debian's   
       openssl package is predictable.  This is caused by an incorrect   
       Debian-specific change to the openssl package (CVE-2008-0166).  As a   
       result, cryptographic key material may be guessable.   
      
       See Debian Security Advisory number 1571 (DSA-1571) for more information:   
       http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html   
      
       If you run a Tor server using this package please see   
       /var/lib/tor/keys/moved-away-by-tor-package/README.REALLY
