The problem is that sometimes you build against libbar-4.0-1 vs. libbar-4.0-2 
and you get qualitatively different binary RPMs as the result in each case, 
despite you triggered both the builds from the same dist-git commit.  This 
difference is not always reflected in metadata of the resulting RPMs.
