Yes, it's really only to calculate the size. We could decide to extend
the packages-file-list.txt to have all file types (normal files,
symlinks, directories), and then have a way of calculating the md5 only
for the normal files. But it was unnecessary to do this for the
size-stats feature. I am not sure it is worth the effort to do that,
but if people want me to add this, I can have a look.
Best regards,
Thomas
