The leftmost value is simply dropped, so it's contents doesn't matter at all,
a dash is as good as an underscore to specifiy a placeholder.
So the patch is not needed.

        if 'cksums' in self.data:
            for line in self.data['cksums'].splitlines():
                stripped = line.strip()
                if stripped == '' or stripped.startswith('#'):
                    continue

                _, size, filename = line.split(None, 2)
                f = self._ensure_file(filename)
                f.size = int(size)


The support for cksum(1) was needed to boostrap this tool;
but now that a recent-enough version of "GDP make-template"
is in the archive, it could be deprecated.

I'm considering adding a more-compact "size + md5" format,
like this; this would speed-up yaml editing.


        if 'size_md5' in self.data:
            for line in self.data['sizemd5'].splitlines():
                stripped = line.strip()
                if stripped == '' or stripped.startswith('#'):
                    continue

                size, md5, filename = line.split(None, 2)
                f = self._ensure_file(filename)
                f.size = int(size)
                f.md5 = md5
