The build-compare output in its current form is pointless as you only see the 
first file in the first rpm that's different. That very often a changed 
buildid in a random binary - that won't help you fix the problem, because if 
the debuginfo is different, the buildid has to change. The real question then 
is, why is the debuginfo different. And very often it's a strange string 
containg the date or host.

I don't think we should harm so many build processes to save another 100 MB, 
but we should concentrate on getting factory deltas working. This would still 
mean 1225 packages to upgrade, but the download size would be around 50MB
(and it would eat up more CPU).
