Brasero creates a hidden md5 checksum in Data CD/DVD

Brasero is my primary disc burning application. Today, while burning the completed anime series from my ever growing collection, I noticed something at the root of the disc.

A file named .checksum.md5. The content?, MD5 checksum for all the files in the CD/DVD.

Now, this is convenient :D.
