This sounds to me as if the "machine-readable reports" that pbulk outputs, as well as the pkg summaries that pkgin downloads, are about to get 10x larger. I don't think this should be on by default.

FILE_CKSUM is only for the binary package file itself, not for every file in the package. Despite the hugely increased generation time, the output file is only around 6% larger, so that wouldn't be my primary concern.
