Uploads with conflicting buildinfo filenames

[Helmut Grohne]

Hi Holger,

thanks for your answers and the background you establish. I'll look into
discussing this with Guillem.

I have a use case for this. Would it be possible to extend the buildinfo
format specification such that checksums could be optionally included?
A builder could consume a .buildinfo file generated by dpkg-genbuildinfo
and augment it with checksums given precise knowledge of the build
environment. This is asking less than having dpkg-genbuildinfo produce
those checksums and only about allowing their inclusion. Do you have
something in mind how that would look? An example maybe?
