I think the majority opinion is that sha1 is fine for 
non-security purposes like monitoring files for changes to 
obviate superfluous work in a build system; for which DUB 
seemingly would use the sha1 checksums. I have (had) a script 
that would backup files, and I'd use sha1 to detect changes 
instead of sha256 because the latter's storage and computational 
requirements were not insignificant compared to the former. This 
is just my perspective, however. I could be talking nonsense.
