There's no fiddling in the sense of modifying the file.  There's a
cache of this file being built, and every time the file changes,
there's a need to update the cache.

Cool.  I've merged the branch into v2.  I'll keep the v2-checkpkg
branch around in case I want to make additional changes.  I'm thinking
of doing the following things:

- porting individual checks from the monolithic part to plugins,
probably taking code from Ben's git repository
- implementing overrides
- adding logs which can be inspected after checkpkg has finished
