Do we have hard numbers about how much of a package's metadata
actually changes between rebuilds ?

Usually, a lot of metadata changes only very slowly, like summary,
description, changelog, dependencies, etc. Only checksum and release
number have a high change frequency in Factory.

Block-wise syncing is certainly one approach, grouping metadata pieces
into blocks of high change (checksums, release numbers) and low change
(summary, description) might be worth investigation.
