I'm quite sure it was intended so.

I don't know why this happens, the new cache on Amazon has worked very 
well for me so far (although I haven't used it so much yet). Note that 
the bump to 1.5.3 is NOT in binary cache yet (in the statically served one).

However, I would recommend to wait for another channel bump for a 
different reason as well: Qt security fix is pending, which means 
changing hashes of all that depend on Qt.
