Yes, it appears that cargo expects there to be a “package” hash definition in
.cargo-checksum.json, but it doesn’t verify the contents (it only checks if they’ve
changed since the last time it updated its Cargo.lock file).

Since this procedure is directly used when building rust-1.20, I didn’t want to
change its definition and get blocked on bootstrapping all of rustc again.
Though I agree, we should update the procedure at some point.
