Here are a number of options possible.

Another thing to consider is how to deal with existing signed data.  If
there's a file that's been sitting on a local disk for twenty years signed
with SHA-1 then the signature isn't going to be suddenly invalid just because
SHA-1 is wobbly.  So some provision for recognising existing data as still
valid rather than "anything signed with SHA-1 is automatically suspect" would
be good.
