Hmm, I think it would clutter up too much.

And if we use it, the tag should be self-describing.

If you built a particular version succesfully, it doesn't mean someone
else also can build that version
succesfully; anything outside GIT is also a dependence for a succesful build.

For example, today we have some packages that sometimes break a build
(probably due to a race condition).

I'ld say, keep with the commit hash for a known-good-build.
