I don't think we need sorcery option to choose prefered archive type for
summon. Imho it is worthless.

In history, we created md5 hash of decompressed tarball so that hash
works with both gz and bz2.

Kernel team now also sign only decompressed tarball (tar) and not
compressed ones (tar.gz, tar bz2, tar.xz).
