Any chance to make a --build-from-source flag behavior manageable?

Hi, I'm trying to work around issue where --build-from-source flag triggers rebuild even if there are binaries available. I've opened a similar issue for electron-builder (electron-userland/electron-builder#787) but I'm not sure will they accept my PR or not, so asking here. What do you think, is there a point to make this behavior controlled via some flag in package.json ?

--build-from-source flag triggers rebuild even if there are binaries available <-- that is the design. That flag is what you pass if you want to build from source even if there are binaries available. So I'm unclear on what problem you are having.
