I'm terribly sorry, I mixed up the (by now long) list of VeriSign
RootCA certs.

The RootCA cert under which the server cert for https://www.hp.com
is "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2"
and uses sha1WithRsaEncryption.  But it still is an X.509v1 cert.

My Firefox 3.5.13 comes with these three VeriSign RooCA certs
that are X.509v1, use md2WithRsaSignature and valid until 02-Aug-2028:

   "VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority"
   "VeriSign Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority"
   "VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority"
