The change in d3d33d5b25 changed how the
locally saved channel information was saved on the local machine.

The changeset did *not* change the guard clause, which now made it act
like this:
1. Try readlink on the file
2. (bail as it's undefined)
The new behaviour is as more or less expected:
1. Reads the file if available
2. Split the URL components
3. Keep the last bit
This can give us an empty string, which will compare to `-1` thus
fulfilling the need.
The manpage says:
> The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-2. When checking, the input should be a former

By adding the filename to the generated sha256 file, a user would be
able to download an iso, the sha256 file, then use `sha256 -c
[file].iso.sha256` to verify the file.

This fixes nixos-homepage#224
For every file "lib/debug/.build-id/<build-id>.debug" in every store
path ending in -debug in a release, this command creates an S3 key
"debuginfo/<build-id>" specifying the location of the NAR that
contains the debug info file for that build ID. Thus,
https://cache.nixos.org/debuginfo allows debug info files to be looked
up by build ID. This allows debug info files to be fetched
automatically by dwarffs [1].
One minor issue is that in theory, multiple store paths could provide
debug info files for a particular build ID. So then when we garbage
collect a store path from the binary cache, we migth invalidate a
debug info link even though there are non-GC'ed store paths that
provide the file. Ah well.
I could have used HTTP redirects, but they're kind of a pain to
configure with S3.

Otherwise we might clobber the redirects if the disk is full, and in
any case there is a time window in which .htaccess is in an
inconsistent state.
