Re: broken $MIRROR/dists/$CODENAME/Release file

["Bruce Korb" <bruce.korb@gmail.com>]

I applied this patch to make it work.  The new code does not have the
recompression code in it, so it won't corrupt sums either.  However,
there is that "bug #402482" comment in there that was stripped out, too.
Either way should fix my particular problem.  The deal is that you have
to do check sums on the final version of a file and not on a file that
is about to be replaced.
