Can we deprecate NSS signtool?

The NSS utility "signtool" is hardcoded to use SHA1 when creating a digital
signature.

As I've described in this bug:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345528
it might be complicated to change the default to a more secure hash algorithm in
a compatible way.

I wonder who still depends on signtool. If you know, could you please give
feedback?

I see that OpenJDK ships its own tool, jarsigner.

Mozilla appears to use different tools to sign the Firefox addons in XPI file
format, using python. Franziskus pointed me to:
  https://github.com/mozilla-services/autograph/pull/46 )

Can we declare signtool as deprecated?

Thanks
Kai
