It's still screwy to update a *versioned* file: 
python-3.4.3-docs-html.tar.bz2

Most of the time we do specify the md5sum for docs, but we don't for 
extra files in places like apache-ant and wireshark and tigervnc.

I guess the easiest way to go would be to add a note about what upstream 
does and not include the md5sum.
