MavenCentral will introduce limits in two months. In particular, a file limit.

Currently, Gradle generates hashes files twice, which makes every Gradle project ×2 the number of files of an equivalent Maven project. The limit is already quite low, this is very limiting to Gradle users until this is fixed.

Gradle generates unnecessary checksum files for `.asc` files, but it's not twice the number of files, is it?

For every file `x` , these files should be generated:
```x
x.md5
x.sha1
x.sha256
x.sha512
x.asc```
(6 files)

but Gradle uselessly generates:
```x.asc.md5
x.asc.sha1
x.asc.sha256
x.asc.sha512```
(4 files)

Every file generates 10 files instead of 6, which is around ×2 the expected number.
