I don't use checksumming, but aren't the checksum databases built off the index files, not the packages? > At the moment there is a set of checksum data in a DB database for > each distro.

I'm not understanding how the checksum databases relate to the cached package files (aside from storing package checksums), and why the new package-filename scheme would lead to multiple databases being created. Is it off the mark to think of the checksum database(s) as a sort of binary representation of the package indices?
