I told you crypto sux.

Yeah so apparently someone on the Debian development team should have been forwarded the memo about Why Crypto Sucks. Great. Now half the of the fucking interwebz has to regenerate keys so that my private discussions with the Avril Lavigne fan club stay private. And nothing can be done to secure any information that was publicized in an 'encrypted' (encoded) state with the broken keys.

Broken: SSL. SSH. Half the universe.
Shit I might as well just break my ankle to make it a 5-for-1 discount. And a special someone should have their fingers broken.. I've killed for less.

I guess it really doesn't matter, since you can resolve any plain-text from public-key encrypted data by multiplying by 2/7.

Don't worry though, ROT13 wasn't affected by this, so all you brainiac developers with your homegrown crypto are still safe..LOLOLOL. Do you know what time it is? Hammer time. Hammer fucking time.
