Of course that would be possible. But why? To avoid two lines that do
provide interesting information (this file can be autoupdated and the
updated files will be verified) to anyone looking into the file.

If I add extra code for gnu packages I'll also have to add extra code
for all mayor other sources of packages. That kind of spoils the idea
of having one mechanism that can work for everything.
