Build-Pkg binary package creation broken?

Hi all,

In current trunk, Build-Pkg will add to e.g. var/adm/md5sums/<pkg> and 
var/adm/cksums/<pkg> on each package build.
This causes problems, as it will add duplicate entries to var/adm/* files, in 
the case of ../md5ums and .../cksums possibly even with different checksums 
(e.g. for binaries build differently in different stages).
Furthermore, mine reports each file for which more than one entry in all 
md5sums files exists as modified/duplicate. That effectively means all files 
of packages that have been built in more than one stage will be seen as 
modified and not overwritten on updates. :(
I strongly suggest to _overwrite_ .../var/adm/* files during package builds.

With best regards,
