It is nothing to do with what is in the mock configs.  the issue is that if you 
create a srpm on F-11 or rawhide then it uses internal hashing that is not 
understood by anything previous.  F-10 uses md5 but understands the new style 
also.

inside the mock chroot they use what is the default for that release.
