Well I don't see reason to have a checksum for that one, its contained
within the source (PKGBUILD) and not downloaded from a remote.
It either comes through git or via a pkg-src tarball. The PKGBUILD
itself (that contains that checksum) comes through the very same way and
also runs code itself.

I would say: just leave it around. In fact we had a big TODO list [0]
cleaning up all the userdel from all packages in the whole repos (not
the AUR).
It doesn't hurt much and in fact if it ever creates some files (now or
in the future) you definitively don't want to wipe them and definitively
don't want to delete the user-name associated with the
UID of those files.

cool. that's especially important to get some attention onto it when you
consider moving such to the repo ;)

That's great to hear *thumbs*
