 Do I need to explain that, presumably, someone developing a new package
 for Sage will try to build Sage with that package? That was the context
 for my comment: I want to provide some feedback when they are still
 developing the package (and therefore running `sage-fix-pkg-checksums`),
 before they even get to the building/testing stage. And there may be
 developers who never use OS X and are unaware of how it treats case.
