The purpose of having an automatically generated subpackage `buildinfo` is  to have an exact description of the build environment used to obtain RPMs from a spec file.

Having this, we can rebuild in the same condition any `src.rpm` (see my WIP tool called [rpmreproduce](https://github.com/fepitre/rpmreproduce/tree/devel-1.0-rpm) and compare with the original RPMs. Also, if a given package is supposed to be reproducible and rebuild differs, something is wrong and needs to be investigated.
