This is a bit imprecise: The contents of the tarball are not
different, but rather are timestamps might differ for _automatic_
generated tarballs. This is due to GitHub sometimes regenerating
tarballs on the fly.

If a release tarball is created manually and
uploaded as asset for a release tag there is no problem.
