Do we?

I can construct a hypothetical situation in which whitespace differs
and we *do* want it to make a difference (for example I used to sign
with a key called 'My Signing Key.pem' and now I've changed to use
'My  Signing  Key.pem'. (OK, it's a *stupid* example but still...)

I couldn't come up with the converse — where whitespace does change for
some reason, but we really don't want to rebuild.

Should we err on the side of caution, and let whitespace changes
trigger a rebuild?
