yep, i'm uninterested in any canonicalization trying to sort the hashed
subpackets -- they are whatever they are on the wire and any reasonable
implementation should accept them and retain them as is.
Canonicalization should be limited to the parts that are "flexible" in
that reordering does not invalidate signatures.
