MailScanner is also affected (as is any 3rd party perl script that has
use Digest::SHA1; in it)

MailScanner recommend the installation of the debian package http://www.mailscanner.info/ubuntu.html
but that is no longer possible because it fails out on the missing dep.

Using the manual deb from Gabriel in #9
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdigest-
sha1-perl/+bug/993648/comments/9 does solve the dependency problem.

It strikes me as absurd that Ubuntu maintainers might suggest Digest::SHA is a drop in replacement for Digest::SHA1 - it is not.
Are Ubuntu offering to do fix up all 3rd party code that uses Digest::$type"->new  ? (which needs ::SHA1 and doesn't work in ::SHA). The common method would be Digest->new($type) but not all code out there uses that.
