Yes

Ok.  I was planning on updating some more tests, so I'll try to spit that
up there as well.

Yes, however inserting dbx_hash.auth right after dbx_hash1.auth didnt work
for me.  There's something date related which prevents us from adding both
of the sha256 hashes of the certs in reverse order.  However I think that
inserting dbx_hash1.auth is enough for the test purpose.  The whole point
was to verify the change of the first patch, were a binary gets rejected on
ony dbx match.

Ah sure, I can test that and send a patch along with some more test cases I
got in mind.
