This sounds like a bug in sdbus++.  We should be sorting the variant
parameters or issuing them in array order.  I'll look into it.

This isn't surprising if what is triggering the rebuild is not a Yocto
variable change (or git revision).  Yocto doesn't cache the contents of
the packages, but caches the variables that went into a build step.  A
hash of the variables are used to look up the potential 'sstate-cache'
files so that it can skip build steps.

If you think a variable or a git-revision should have changed with what
you were doing, then maybe it is something else.
