Not to flog a dead horse, but:

Just yesterday we had a communication from someone on the Gentoo Linux
packaging team that their checksum validation for the bloomfilter package
was failing. This problem arose because of the hand-editing of the package,
but confusion arose in the bug report due to misattribution of the source
of the error.

Hand-editing uploaded tarballs: just don't do it, kids!
