Considering existing patches in the hash calculation of a package

Javier Cervantes Villanueva requested to merge considering-patches-in-hash into master

The aim of this change is to avoid the need of adding a new revision number when a package patch is created. The procedure is to look for any possible existing patch file, then calculate the hash of this patch file and finally add it to the calculation of the hash package. If any patch file exists, just consider the hash as a 0.

It's a really simple change but it is the first time I touch this file so I would like to know if this is the correct way to implement it. Do you consider it as a good change?
