Bug Description

No checksum entries are created for sections other than main contrib non-free main/debian-installer. Ubuntu uses 'restricted', for example. When working with a secure apt repository (signed Release file), this causes an error:

Unable to find expected entry restricted/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Lines 1273 and 1343 in apt-move contain the hard-coded section names.
