As of today, debsums -c reports me

debsums -c
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gbm/old.gbm_gallium_drm.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/old.libgbm.so.1.0.0

Please, please, clean up all the wrong entries. There should be a test which any package must pass before it can be rolled out.

The test should also include updates and corresponding scripts/triggers. It always drives me crazy when debsums -c is reporting something. Especially, I'm not sure if I can rely on virustotal to check detected files against malware (the virus scanners are somehow windows related).

In germany, we have a "federal trojan" created by our government which claims to also infect linux boxes. Not that I'm afraid of being a target. I'm rather afraid someone even worse than our government could reuse that malware (with some improvements, as our government has no idea about computing...).
