Another difference is paths to shared objects:

e.g virsh:

automakerpm/unpack/usr/bin/virsh:
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffccb1ea000)
	libvirt-lxc.so.0 => /lib64/libvirt-lxc.so.0 (0x00007f51f7082000)
	libvirt-qemu.so.0 => /lib64/libvirt-qemu.so.0 (0x00007f51f707d000)
	libvirt.so.0 => /lib64/libvirt.so.0 (0x00007f51f6bbd000)
	libxml2.so.2 => /lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007f51f6a4d000)
	libreadline.so.8 => /lib64/libreadline.so.8 (0x00007f51f69f7000)
	libglib-2.0.so.0 => /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f51f68cc000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f51f68a8000)

mesonrpm/unpack/usr/bin/virsh:
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcb4b8d000)
	libvirt-lxc.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libvirt-lxc.so.0 (0x00007fc2b9596000)
	libvirt-qemu.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libvirt-qemu.so.0 (0x00007fc2b9591000)
	libvirt.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libvirt.so.0 (0x00007fc2b90d1000)
	libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007fc2b8f61000)
	libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007fc2b8e36000)
	libreadline.so.8 => /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.8 (0x00007fc2b8de0000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fc2b8dc3000)


This one is probably safe and also possibly considered modern, but I
wanted to point it out.

One mistake though is that usr/bin/virt-xml-validate is not installed as
executalbe with meson!
