Description

The Checksum model for distribution tree allows a null value for the checksum field.. The checksum field is a part of uniqueness constraint. Since it's allowed to be null, and every null is unique, it's possible to have duplicates.

There is a spec (somewhat outdated) https://release-engineering.github.io/productmd/treeinfo-1.0.html which seems to say that checksums should always be present.

I'm not sure about real world examples when checksum type is null for this model, however the data migration needs to consider that theoretical possibility.
