Hi Otavio!

you are completely right. I gave it some hours today without much luck. 
What I have right now is that it appends the new checksums at the end of 
the recipe instead of replacing them. This works fine because the last 
assignment is the one remaining after the parsing stage, but not really 
elegant to have duplicate values in a single recipe.

Paul,
For this particular feature, I believe we should focus on bitbake's 
edit_metadata function instead of recipeutils's patch_recipe. In 
general, we should refactor many things on the devtool code, now that 
many stuff is just in a single file (standard.py). This seems to me like 
work for me targeting 2.1 release.
