"No real way" or "no way"? The package passes RPM verification at least,
so obviously it isn't damaged badly:

$ rpm -Kv libdvdcss-debuginfo-1.2.10-1.i386.rpm 
libdvdcss-debuginfo-1.2.10-1.i386.rpm:
    Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID a109b1ec: OK
    Header SHA1 digest: OK (4e08f7e57efee9566161d1877fd08d8ea18ac243)
    MD5 digest: OK (d772761658ec7217f02475c9d758888c)
    V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID a109b1ec: OK

And those checksums are independent from the GPG signature (here done
with key ID a109b1ec). That means, you can sign the package with a different
key and still get the same internal RPM checksums. Only the file's checksum
will differ, and that's the one that enters the repodata.
