 From the referenced blog:

Since the ctf data is present in the in memory portion of the elf files,
it is part of the elf hash and thus any file w/ varying cft data should be
part of the new package(s).

There are distinct implications of CTF on the number of binaries changed
in each build; this will need to be explored.

If necessary, we may need to work on making the CTF construction
process more deterministic.
