It's always possible that files have been locally modified. Especially
in a multilib environment where you may have 32-bit and/or 64-bit
packages installed, and only one of them provides the files in /usr/bin
for example. It seems more appropriate to use the files on the existing
system as _seed_ for something like rsync and not to just blindly use
them as-is and apply deltas.
