I think there's even an ancient PR open against that (check check, yes
- it's misc/7391).  I just haven't had time to go do the
release/Makefile handsprings necessary for dragging the checksums out
of one file and sticking them in another - the checksum-making code
runs in a loop over the releases before things like the "des tweaker"
has a chance to run, and the result is checksums in the wrong place.
Perhaps the ordering could also be changed somewhat, I haven't
really investigated it yet.  If you're feeling especially motivated
yourself, it's good practice in advanced Makefile reading. :)

That's just an artifact of some last-minute conversion.  I don't
expect the final 3.0-RELEASE binaries for XFree86 to look like
this or have this problem.
