I'd have it depend on the files that were last used to generate loaddefs.el. The list of such files could be computed automatically, when generating loaddefs.el, and the list could be shipped as part of the Emacs tarball so that the process would work even for people not using a version control system, or who have imported Emacs into some other version control system. It shouldn't be that hard, though we should not be installing this sort of change during a feature freeze.
