Comment (by vbraun):
It is a feature that you need `checksums.ini` where the tarball name
pattern is specified (the checksums are not needed). This is the only
place that unambiguously ties together tarball file names with package
names. You can have other heuristics but they can and will break, and you
can't build a reliable system on top of sand? Besides, extra filename-
based heuristics violate the single source of truth principle.
That `$ ./sage --fix-pkg-checksums upstream/cliquer-1.21.tar.gz`
demonstrates the advantage of this ticket, the new tarball name is
`cliquer-1.21.tar.bz2` and if you accidentally enter the wrong extension
you now get an error message instead of silently using the wrong tarball.
