Thanks for the reply!

I thought about this and, before posting, I also tried with an hash
where the first character was changed from '0' to '6'. It gave the
same result, even after deleting any existing 'emacs-dash' and
'emacs-s' derivation in the store. In my understanding that shouldn't
happen. Is that correct?

By changing the hash to a totally different one (a string of '6's) it
downloads the right repo. As expected, it complains about the hash and
gives me the right one which I can copy into the package recipe.
(That's The Lazy work-flow :-).)
