1. you don't want many scattered checksum files, you want one file for
the whole disk, so users can find/filter it easily (use find to get a
recursive file list, sort/filter, checksum it)
2. burn apps suchs as brasero/k3b? already generete this file if asked
(using md5 which is IMHO a mistake today)
3. you want this checksum file signed
