Well, hopefully I've shown I'm at least willing to try fix things :D

And yeah, my preference would be that the ppc64le checksums are just 
bumped along with the rest, but without any explicit testing beyond 
that. I understand that I'm not the maintainer here so will go along 
with whatever approach is chosen, but keeping them here feels like 
we're at least solving the problem in a consistent spot.

As mentioned in the cover letter we found this issue via the ppc64le CI 
machines used in OpenBMC. OpenBMC tries to integrate upstream YP 
changes every fortnight or so. That's obviously not as ideal as ppc64le 
resources dedicated to YP, but I think this provides enough feedback 
that things won't completely rot.

If a bump does cause issues I'll try to resolve them as soon as possible.

Andrew
