I'd like to have "lenient hash check for noarch subpackages" discussed.
 Basically, we do an rpmdiff between the noarch subpackages that are
produced on different arches.  If the checks fail, the build is failed.
 However, the checks currently don't check every difference between
subpackages.  Notably, the hash check is not performed.

I've modified the rpmdiff we're using to check hashes on everything
except %doc files, *.pyo and *.pyc.  I think that enabling this check
and adding to it if we find other file types that should be whitelisted
is preferable to not doing hash checks at all.

This is the results of running with --lenient-hash on packages that have
current been rebuilt with noarch subpackages::
