Comment 75 for bug 173890

Couldn't something be done to not use md5sums in the .deb file? Since we
have no idea when Adobe may change the file, could there be a way to say,
download the file 2 or 3 times and see if the sum is all the same. OR, have
some dedicated machine somewhere that once-a-day downloads and generates the
md5sum, which users can check against?

Just a few ideas.
