With the current format *all* users have to manually compare - while with what I propose at least those who have the tools mod5sum and / or sha1sum can do a machine verify; and for those who have to check manually its no difference since same information is in the file. See my other post where I've hacked the roll.sh, and its fair easy with one additional line to even put the current format too into the checksum file - it would only need a '#' so that the md5sum / sha1sum tools would ignore this line.
