I think that's good, the other information might come in handy down
the road. One thing you might want to consider is to put the md5 sum
at the end, since at some point down the road (maybe years from now,
but still ...) we're likely to drop md5 altogether.
Better still would be:
@comment DISTFILE:<filename>[':' <key>=<value>]*
eg: DISTFILE:foo:SIZE=1234:MD5=...:SHA256=...
Relying on the specific position of an item in a delimited list
almost always comes back and bites in painful spots later on down the
way. Minimal extra parsing required by consumers, and bits and
pieces can be added/removed almost at will.
