No, it rebuilds once a dependency actually changes (if it is rebuild and
the resulting RPM is unchanged, then no rebuild is kicked of though).

Well, you kinda do want them (in Rawhide) because ABI changes & SONAME
bumps are not applicable for all programming languages and then people &
tools make mistakes. So a "safe" update without a SONAME bump might be
one that actually required one and would be undetected unless you
rebuild & retest dependent packages.
