A direct way would be for someone to koji-download the given rpm, and
hand-extract/compare the files.  (It's obviously not economical.)

Yes.  The Changes FAQ section discusses this topic.

Unfortunately, in the absence of per-file signatures generated by the
build system, and securely distributed out-of-band, I can't think of any
way to provide client-side verifiability of a debuginfod type service.
That's independent of any particular level of server code robustness.

Interestingly, if debuginfod were considered *trusted*, then it could be
used as the *basis* for such a capability, because the client-side hash
verification feature being prototyped.  It would serve trusted hashes to
RPM-based artifacts on demand.
