+ These fields contain a list of files with a checksum and size
+ for each one. Both <tt>Checksums-Sha1</tt>
+ and <tt>Checksums-Sha256</tt> have the same syntax and differ
+ only in the checksum algorithm used: SHA-1
+ for <tt>Checksums-Sha1</tt> and SHA-256
+ for <tt>Checksums-Sha256</tt>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <tt>Checksums-Sha1</tt> and <tt>Checksums-Sha256</tt> are
+ multiline fields. The first line of the field value (the part
+ on the same line as <tt>Checksums-Sha1:</tt>
+ or <tt>Checksums-Sha256:</tt>) 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 <file>.changes</file> file):

+ In the <file>.dsc</file> file, these fields should list all
+ files that make up the source package. In
+ the <file>.changes</file> file, these fields should list all
+ files being uploaded. The list of files in these fields
+ must match the list of files in the <tt>Files</tt> field.
