Already added to the bug, but here so people not watching the bug can see:

I believe this change is requested because otherwise there is no way to detect a 
package upgrade/uprev when using buildhistory.  This type of upgrade can happy 
when comparing no-GPLv3 and GPLv3 builds -- or just simple software updates when 
a layer gets updated.

We want to use the buildhistory from one build to the next to look for changes 
that have occurred that may be unexpected.
