I have verified the -proposed package in xenial by building the ubuntu-
cpc project. Images were unchanged but times were not decreased
significantly (though I'm building on hardware with lots of memory and
fast disk). Marking as verification-done.

Title:
Accelerate the build: Drop unused checksum generation
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:

Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Xenial:
Fix Committed
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Cosmic:

Bug description:
[Impact]
* Image builds take time
* Some of the time is spent computing checksums
* Those checksums are never used
* Time and energy is wasted
* build/(md5|sha256)sum.txt is not used by livecd-rootfs and not exposed by launchpad-buildd
[Test Case]
* Build images
* Disable checksums
* Build images
* Ensure image deliverables are unchanged
[Regression Potential]
* Someone was using the checksums outside of launchpad-buildd; because launchpad-buildd doesn't present those artifacts
* The checksums are included beside the squashfs in live-build ISOs but none of our projects use live-build to build ISOs.
