Making the assumption that pkgbuilds are standard is really looking
for troubles and/or wrong and false results :)

I don't want to support multi-arch sums, there is an infinite number
of ways to write them, so it's impossible to deal with that.

What I would find acceptable is just to delete the standard and easy
checksums, without affecting anything else. And appending the new
checksums at the end.

Even better would be to replace the standard and easy checksums in
place , and just append the others at the end of the pkgbuild.
