Have you asked upstream why?
No, but I guess documentation does not follow a release schedule: there site
advertise:"Download _current_documentation" (underline by me). Then,on the
download page: "Last updated on: September 09,2015." I once tried to see what
they change: mainly typos, or improvement in wording. Maybe, we could just
remove the md5sum. After all, I cannot see how a compromised documentation
could be a security threat... Well, external links, maybe?
It's still screwy to update a *versioned* file:
python-3.4.3-docs-html.tar.bz2
Most of the time we do specify the md5sum for docs, but we don't for
extra files in places like apache-ant and wireshark and tigervnc.
I guess the easiest way to go would be to add a note about what upstream
does and not include the md5sum.
