The checksums file currently is nothing but a container for checksums,
so does not get updated after a delete. This will change in the near
future to make the file usable for more than just checksums (e.g.
CPAN.pm's ls command).
search.cpan.org is a completely different story. Graham knows how
often outdated entries get removed from there.
