No, this isn't true. Every package changes when it's rebuilt because
it contains timestamps. It's possible, though somewhat tricky, to try
and detect whether the files themselves have changed (but it's made
difficult because many files themselves contain embedded timestamps,
e.g. all lib*.a files), but we don't do that. I wrote some code back
in December which attempts to check whether the packages are
different, but it's pretty slow and doesn't deal with lib*.a files
yet. Still, it would probably be worthwhile using.
