Oh actually, I had the same idea (for the md5sum part),
after reading what Baptiste said there :
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7485#comment17453
that .FILELIST could be extended.
Since that md5sum computation was annoying me, I thought
it would be nicer if it was directly in .FILELIST.
Maybe that looked like a silly idea, so I never talked about it :)
