Exactly that was my idea ;-)

sha1 maybe? I would need to look into the code again, but it must be one
of these, I don't think it is salted. There is another issue with these
hashes: most of the times, they are not produced at the origin of the
tarball (e.g. not directly from KDE) but rather downloaded, checked &
the hash is generated by emerge. If somebody touches the tarball, the
name might stay the same but hashes might still change.
