Description

The platform docs[0] specify that when uploading you can specify unit_key and unit_metadata. These section correspond with importers across the docs including the importer that handles ingestion of RPM and SRPM content. Both the RPM[1] and SRPM[2] docs identify these fields as part of the unit_key which means when uploading they are expected to be in the unit_key field of the upload call.

Currently the platform code will not work if you put checksum and checksumtype in unit_key, and will only work if you put them in unit_metadata. Given what the docs say, the current behavior is wrong. This is a bug for the API, the related bug is to update pulp-admin to have pulp-admin send the data correctly.
