Description

Only its checkisomd5 utility is “used” in the Installer’s code, and we don’t embed checksum info in the ISO, so it brings no value. isomd5sum is not in Ubuntu/main, so it makes it harder than needed to install Tails Installer on Ubuntu.

This work should be done in the feature/jessie (and debian/sid) branches only, no need to bother with the Wheezy version.

u, now that you’ve cherry-picked this change (in a weird way, that lost my commit message, so I cherry-picked my commit and committed it again with —allow-empty so we have the explanation for that change), and it was merged into feature/jessie, the next step is to drop the dependency in the packaging. Can you please do it while doing Feature #8553?

Upstream 4.4.1 has the needed bits, and the changes in tails/jessie are OK, so yes, please prepare a new package.
