collection of cryptographic algorithms and protocols for Python used
insecure insufficient prime numbers in key generation, which lead to a
weakened signature or public key space, allowing easier brute force
attacks on such keys.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6-1.
