 So perhaps a workaround would be to change the hashes to none instead? That way
sources.b.o will retain the original tarballs (since they still have the
"correct" hash).

 Not changing the hash gives the problem that the packages are downloaded twice:
once from github, failing hash, and then again from sources.b.o. For 2017.02.x
users that's unavoidable, but for master users we can fix it by changing the
hash to none.

 Of course, the hash file should then have a comment explaining that the hash
should be updated again when the package is bumped.

 Regards,
 Arnout
