Yes.

Yes.

No. It takes in account both keys. There are two functions passed to the hash
table initialization :
* hash_packet_xxx() which returns a hash value (the index of the hash table
where to start to lookup). With 2 keys, as for coordinates for Freeciv <= 2.1,
it is calculated as :
((key1 << 8) ^ key2)
So, the combination of both keys with a xor'ed value issued from the first key
left-shifted by 1 byte and the second key. I don't know how it is supposed to
work with other types...
* cmp_packet_xxx() which returns 0 only if both keys are matched. This is the
function that grant that both keys are correctly checked.
Note that there is no packet using 2 keys currently.
> If no previous packet following those conditions exist it will

Yes.
