It was not considered worse. skipinteg did not work with wrong
checksum either. It only works in the case where no checksums are
defined in a pkgbuild.

And forget what I said in the bug comments, I don't really care. It
might be ok to have skipinteg really skips everything after all.

So my opinion now is :
makepkg: rework --skip-integ -> could be ok
makepkg: allow skipping intergrity checks whem making source package
(Fixes FS#15984) -> less sure

It seems Loui is opposed to the second patch.
And Dan seems to be opposed to both, but especially the second one.

Correct me if I am wrong :)
