It's a matter of trust. I've verified that image with several Debian
developers via md5sum and checking against versions in pool. He,
however, feels it is necessary to be forthright in saying that he did
not have control over the files on that machine. It is always better to
at least inform when one has suspicions.

With that said, the regular isos will suffice as well.
