Another option would be to only rebuild a package if its full version

exactly what causes a package to be rebuilt and ensures that package
revisions are bumped to showcase differences in the binaries.
It doesn't help for that purpose. In fact, it just increases the chance
of getting broken binary packages by a significant factor.
