[arch-general] Stronger Hashes for PKGBUILDs

You misunderstand something. Every checksum is also a hash (a mapping to
another domain), and cryptographic hash functions always produce checksums.

This is wrong. Checksum checks *are* integrity checks. That's what they are.
I think you should read up on some terminology because either you
misunderstand something very basic, or you confuse others by using words
differently from everyone else.

Cheers,
Bennett
