<listitem><para>A string uniquely
identifying the system image used as
the origin for a distribution (it is
not updated with system updates). The
field can be identical between
different VERSION_IDs as BUILD_ID is
an only a unique identifier to a
specific version. Distributions that
release each update as a new version
would only need to use VERSION_ID as
each build is already distinct based
on the VERSION_ID. This field is
optional. Example:
<literal>BUILD_ID="2013-03-20.3"</literal>
or
<literal>BUILD_ID=201303203</literal>.
