I have poked -packagers on the matter and I am seeing no complains, so
let's move forward with this stuff.  From the consensus I am seeing on
the thread, we have been discussing about the following points:
1) Rename pg_verify_checksums to pg_checksums.
2) Have separate switches for each action, aka --verify, --enable and
--disable, or a unified --action switch which can take different
values.
3) Do we want to imply --verify by default if no switch is specified?

About 2), folks who have expressed an opinion are:
- Multiple switches: Robert, Fabien, Magnus
- Single --action switch: Michael B, Michael P

About 3), aka --verify implied if no action is specified:
- In favor: Fabien C, Magnus
- Against: Michael P

If I missed what someone said, please feel free to complete with your
votes here.
