Description

The size of initramfs differs almost between every build.

In the supplied test project, if the sstate files for groff is deleted the regenerated package often contains .ps files with different size in usr/share/doc/groff

In the supplied test project 3 executables get different group.
                /usr/bin/dotlockfile        mail <-> man
                /usr/bin/rdist                    bin <-> daemon
                /usr/bin/rdistd                  bin <-> daemon 

Also, permissions could differ.

The group and permission parts may make a build unusable on customer's environment since the outcome of two builds may differ is it almost impossible to recreate an old build, if needed.

Please refer to the attached check.log which repreresents the output of the check.sh script.

Steps to Reproduce
