Not all packages are built in deterministic ways: some will get a
different hash on each run.  This makes/made Haskell packaging more
difficult, since there even ABIs are nondeterministic so after a library
is rebuilt all its dependencies needed rebuilding.  There are also
trivial issues like archives containing timestamps of when they were
built.

I think the answer is that we trust distro developers and we don't know
any problems which we explain by the packages not being what would be
built from the source.
