Well the discussion was already almost over if you look at the comments :)

The problem is that this requires some sed/awk skills and I have none
at all. The sed commands proposed until now either did not work or
failed in bad ways on some pkgbuilds, deleting parts of it.

The awk way seemed more reliable than the sed ones :
{ rm PKGBUILD; awk '$0 ~ /^md5sums/ {i = 1; system("makepkg -g
2>/dev/null")}; !i {print}; $0 ~ /\)/ {i = 0}' > PKGBUILD; } <
PKGBUILD

But does it makes sense to incorporate this in makepkg ? To have
makepkg call himself ?
