Hi,
due to popular resistence i created a new wiki page
https://wiki.debian.org/VerifyISOImage
with the content which i would propose to
https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#verify
Regrettably i was unable to mimick the bullet list paragraphs of the FAQ,
so that i had to change the text for a more unstructured presentation.
(This does not have to be a disadvantage. But now i have two versions
which i need to maintain until a decision is made at debian-cd.)
Interested people are invited to proof-read it, but please make only
cosmetic changes and discuss any substantial change with me in advance.
Technical correctness and portability beyond the currently supported
releases of Debian are important to me.
First of all: thanks Thomas, this is a useful page for newcomers.
I was testing the procedure in a virtual machine, the first "gpg
--keyserver keyring.debian.org ..." command fails because I hadn't
imported the public keys.
If you agree, a paragraph like the following it could be useful at the
beginning:

Before you begin, if you haven't already done, you must import the
Debian public keys. You can download the keys from the authenticity
verification page: https://www.debian.org/CD/verify once done, then
imports the keys with the command:
gpg --import key-988021A964E6EA7D.txt key-DA87E80D6294BE9B.txt
key-42468F4009EA8AC3.txt

Just my 2ยข hint, cheers
