Is this allowed (logically and/or legally)? It seems like defeating the 
purpose of checksumming the license definition of the package. I know it's 
done for the tasks, but tasks are not real packages - they are pure metadata. 
This one fetches a git repository, hence contains "code".

I believe the proper way, if the package even mentions its license, is to 
checksum that text directly or a portion of the code:

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://git/src/main.c;beginline=5;endline=9;md5=1234567890abcdef"
