Hum, quick example: the slirp package doesn't have a custom
_SITE_METHOD, it's just using Git. And it doesn't have a hash file.
Same psplash, and many other packages.

This is not completely correct: thanks to Yann's work, the tarballs we
produce locally when fetching from Git are reproducible. So technically
speaking, all packages fetched from Git could and should now have a
hash file.
