Bug Description
As part of the Debian derivatives census, we are doing some checks on
all derivatives. We noticed that a number of source packages are missing
SHA-1/SHA-256 hashes. You may have inherited this issue from Debian, we
had the same issue until recently. Here are some sample messages from
the report below, which is generated daily.
WARNING: source cvstrac 2.0.1-3: SHA-256 hashes but no hash for the dsc file
WARNING: source cvstrac 2.0.1-3: SHA-1 hashes but no hash for the dsc file
WARNING: source diveintopython 5.4-2ubuntu2: no SHA-256 hash
WARNING: source diveintopython 5.4-2ubuntu2: no SHA-1 hash

Please ignore the warnings about GPG and InRelease stuff, they are due
to python-apt not supporting some things in Debian squeeze.

SRU for Precise:
[Impact]
`apt-ftparchive sources .` on a directory with a .dsc not containing checksums will produce output also without checksums. By making this patch available on Precise, we will backport the Precise version to lucid-cat for fixing on Launchpad.
[Test Case]
Grab the source package for beef-0.0.6-2 the dsc of which has no checksums, put this in /tmp then cd to /tmp. Run `apt-ftparchive sources .` and observe that no checksums are output. Upgrade to the fixed version and re-run the command and observe that checksums are now output correctly.
[Regression Potential]
None known.
