+When a package has a version selection choice, then the hash file may be
+stored in a subdirectory named after the version, e.g.
++package/libfoo/1.2.3/libfoo.hash+. This is especially important if the

 The hashes stored in that file are used to validate the integrity of the
 downloaded files and of the license files.
