It depends only on the contents. This allows us to use a list of
different URIs (see the lsof package for an example) or try many
different mirror://s as long as they serve the right file.
Should I change the hash in virtualization.scm?
In general: yes, but not without prior investigation.
The server might be serving a temporary error page instead of a usable
tarball (SF.net is currently notorious for doing so), or the tarball
might have been updated in-place (and you'll have to manually diff the
contents to make sure it's legitimate), or it might just be a problem
with your network, or...
Pushing a hash update without explanation in the commit message will
result in lots of spam from people like me. Avoid that.
