Public bug reported:

A value for the 'checksum' image property will no longer be computed
from Victoria onwards.  The field itself will remain (so no change in
the API response).

Current text is:

Hash that is used over the image data. The Image service uses this value
for verification. The value might be null (JSON null data type).

Should change to something like:

An MD5 hash over the image data. The value might be null (JSON null data
type), as this field is no longer populated by the Image Service
beginning with the Victoria release.  It remains present for backward
compatibility with legacy images.  To validate image data, instead use
the secure multihash fields ``os_hash_algo`` and ``os_hash_value``.
