MD5 collisions found - alternative?

Hi,

Maybe you have already noticed - collisions have been found in MD5
hashing algorithm:

My question is: Is there an easy way to make my debian sid installation
use something else (better) than md5 for various things? Namely SHA-1
with some longer output in PAM.

Thanks,
Robert
