Besides the things mentioned by Alan below, to have a truly

environment so that changes to underlying system libraries don't affect
you either (though kernel & CPU microcode changes will still mean
differences).
afaik, Nix also covers that, but I have to admit I haven't played
around with it myself (yet).
I'm not sure if mock/koji aid in this or work against it.
mock does a great job of providing a clean build environment (for RPMs....
though I could see it being used for EB as well in a weird twisted way).
I've always (well, for 10+ years) been in the camp that I want changes
in underlying system libraries (e.g. security updates) to affect, by
default,
my binaries. OpenSSL updates are a good thing.
