It doesn't fix the third, and main, issue: GitHub-generated tarballs get a 
new checksum each time they're regenerated (because some file dates change). 
This makes them completely unverifiable.

(This also goes for other "generate tarball from tag" services, e.g. 
BitBucket.)

The only reasonable thing to do there is really to have upstream upload a 
real, verifiable tarball (explaining the above issue to them).
