FS#2690 - Imagebuilder: "opkg_install_pkg: Package size mismatch" error

----------
I had a look at the 18.06.4 imagebuilder (before the new size check) to see why it was working.

It should have failed similarly, because the checksum from the old package in dl/ will likely be different from what is in the new package index.

It turns out that the imagebuild doesn't seem to care at all about package checksums... It will happily use the old package from dl/ even though the checksum is wrong compared to what is in the package index.

We could "fix" the issue by telling the imagebuilder to *also* ignore package size, but security-wise we should definitely be verifying checksums here...

Once checksums are verified properly, fixing this issue would require to delete/re-download packages that failed the checksum.
