No, because that's not what the RECORD hashes are for.  It's not an intrusion detection system, it's an installer conflict and "oops I edited the wrong file" checker.

People who are upset because md5 is low security are correctly understanding that this system *provides no security*.  We are not promising ANY security, so *not* using a secure hash is actually preferable.  The goal is data integrity against accidental overwrite by dumb installer tools (e.g. distutils) and accidental edits, not security against malicious tampering.
