It strikes me that if we want to make it policy, having dpkg generate
the checksums upon creating the .deb would be the simplest and best way
to do it. This way we wouldn't have to change packages to do it, and if
we ever want to change the format (sha1 as well as md5?) there's only
one place to change it.
