Thanks Julien!

This is a good way to save myself from full package definition. I now see that other packages define multiple sources in similar way as now I know what to look for.

Though my original question was more about the way the other package managers define sources e.g. PKGBUILD. There the sources are in one "list".
But in the end both definitions are equivalent and they alsoprovide the sums (if not skipped ;-)
