5.6.24 ‘Checksums-Sha1’ and ‘Checksums-Sha256’
----------------------------------------------

These multiline fields contain a list of files with a checksum and size
for each one.  Both ‘Checksums-Sha1’ and ‘Checksums-Sha256’ have the
same syntax and differ only in the checksum algorithm used: SHA-1 for
‘Checksums-Sha1’ and SHA-256 for ‘Checksums-Sha256’.

‘Checksums-Sha1’ and ‘Checksums-Sha256’ are multiline fields.  The first
line of the field value (the part on the same line as ‘Checksums-Sha1:’
or ‘Checksums-Sha256:’) is always empty.  The content of the field is
expressed as continuation lines, one line per file.  Each line consists
of the checksum, a space, the file size, a space, and the file name.
For example (from a ‘.changes’ file):

In the ‘.dsc’ file, these fields list all files that make up the source
package.  In the ‘.changes’ file, these fields list all files being
uploaded.  The list of files in these fields must match the list of
files in the ‘Files’ field.
