No, I think you can leave the MD5 check sum file as is for now as a
realization of the ideas at #329. The SageTeX spkg is the only package
implementing the integrity check ideas at #329. I find the verification
instructions at #329 to be very helpful, which make me think about an idea
for implementing a patch to automatically verify the check sum in an spkg.
But if other spkg's in the future also have a file named `md5sum.check`,
it can be difficult to know which check file belongs to which package
(because they're all given the same name). But if each spkg has its own
integrity check file named, say, `spkg-name.md5` then
`SAGE_PACKAGES/build` would be inundated with MD5 sum files (unless you
delete them upon successful verification).
