When updating my development system I've run into an issue with xorg 
compound sections like the Xorg Protocol Headers.  I had a previous 
install and had proto-7.7.md5, but saved that and created a new one from 
the book.  A diff gives:

diff proto-7.7.md5 proto-7.7.md5.save
24c24
< 9c0203c3bee4bac432ec504dc45712ed  xproto-7.0.24.tar.bz2
---
 > d4d241a4849167e4e694fe73371c328c  xproto-7.0.23.tar.bz2

I think updating the file proto-7.7.md5 without changing the name is a 
stealth update.  We probably need to change the file name to something 
like proto-7.7-1.md5 and then update to -2, -3, etc when updating the 
file list and the overall version (i.e. 7.7) does not change.

I haven't checked lib-7.7.md5, app-7.7.md5, or font-7.7.md5 yet, but I 
wouldn't think that the proposed suffix numbers need to be the same in 
all sections.
