The indentation is wrong here (and affects all following lines of this
sub-expression).

I also think that the indentation is wrong here.  My Emacs aligns
“(base32” with the “s” of “(sha256”.

I don’t know what this means.

Okay, but what does this package provide?  Is it a library to create
or inspect wheel packages?

I apologise for not bringing this up earlier, but this is the first time
I actually read the description.  (Before that I only paid attention to
the input types.)
