Not sure that would be any different between distfiles and packages.

Doesn't the manifest/hash aspect of ebuilds ensure that for the
tarballs already? If installing same version, same tarball, Its all the
same already.

This might be the strongest reason. Though would only apply to stuff
like say kernel sources. Not sure what patches could be applied to a
binary ebuild, -bin. A patch would not effect src_install per my
understanding.

That may work, I was not thinking to negate. Trying it out now. But
may lead me to another need... :)
