I'm not so much worried about that level of difference as I am of say
different file lists from noarch rpms built on different hosts, or maybe
different endianness of data files.  There is some set of post-build
checks we may want to run on these noarch subpackages to ensure they are
in fact noarch, and that their content is sane.  This noarch subpackage
feature is new, and there are things Koji can and probably should be
doing to make sure it's being used correctly.
