Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
The libblkid library is used to identify block devices (disks) as to their
content (e.g. filesystem type) as well as extracting additional information
such as filesystem labels/volume names, unique identifiers/serial numbers, etc.
A common use is to allow use of LABEL= and UUID= tags instead of hard-coding
specific block device names into configuration files.
