Description

For the `sys-apps/sandbox` is changed the URL of the sources but the tarball version and name was the same. `kit merge` correctly catch the change of the SRC_URI but it doesn't update the Manifest.
In this case, it's better forcing download and check checksum of the file.

Research direction

Start with the `kit merge` entry point and the handling of `sys-apps/sandbox`, then inspect how `SRC_URI` changes are compared with the existing `Manifest`. Reproduce the case where the source URL changes but the tarball name and version do not. Done means the merge forces a download and checksum check so the Manifest is updated.
