AFAIK the Maven repo is not an Apache channel.

I had not read that recently.

I was basing my objection on

http://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution.html#sigs-and-sums

which does not allow for combined checksum files.

Note that I wrote 'AFAIK the MD5SUM and SHA1SUM files should not be present.'
which was true for me at the time.
