By "broken" I meant vulnerable, not non-working. As I already asked "how
do I verify the integrity of the apt .deb"? Haven't checked the details,
but the wording in the Debilian's advisory suggest they don't have
self-contained pseudo-crypto signatures, they just sign the metadata
shit, at least by default.

As an aside, "download this .deb and install" reminds me of the windoze
screensaver attachments I get by email...
