This is one of things jigdo does. It is well tested, and make cheksums and md5 control, both of individual packages and whole iso. Do we need reinvent the wheel ? ;)
So, how can we integrate this best? Are you an expert on this and could help us setting this up?
I'm not an expert, but I built jigdo RPMS for SuSE 9.3. You can see them here ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-gbv/rpms/SuSE_9.3 I also generate the jigdo files needed to remaster the shipped in box double layer SuSE 9.3 DVD into 2 fully fuctional single layered DVD. To achieve this I had to get the two gold single layered DVD used by beta testers and the big boxed one. You can read it in detail in the wiki page mentioned at the begining of this thread. The key to use jigdo in future releases is that SuSE must generate a fully functional media, as example a DVD, then generate their jigdo files and release ONLY these files, NOT the big DVD iso. Of course, we assume that the jigdo user has the package available (in other purchased media or in the ftp tree).
