Shall we do this too?

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813157 for more
information why.

The tl;dr here is:
* By default Git doesn't verify the sha1 checksums it receives by
default.
* It doesn't look like we've got any inconsistencies in our
repositories I use, though. That's good!
* To turn on verification, I think you run:

    git config --add  transfer.fsckobjects true
