This tag is not only about reproducibility, it supposes to represent
package build result identity, so we can differentiate one build from
another from one source package (with same NEVR) if there are
significant difference, such as different rundeps, generated binary

files, different filelist that packaged to the files, etc. One benefit
of this is reproducible build proof, second one is that we can use value
from this tag to generate more strict intersubpackage deps, so we can
use these for binary package rebuild without release upping (in case new
SONAME buildreq or new compiler).
We couldn't think of better tag name (you can propose a better name).
