I think this could be an attractive nuisance. If daily builds are enabled, running a manual build with the same parameters causes pain: Bug #684515

Could we change the system so that a manually triggered build counts as the daily build for that day?

Wanting a build now with the same parameters as the daily doesn't seem fundamentally wrong. It seems that the problem is that the daily build will go ahead anyway.

If no new commits have been done, that would make sense to me.

We could detect same-details and do a no-change-rebuild transform to
the package (as documented in the Ubuntu developer docs for rebuilding
failed packages).

As discussed with Tim, recipes which are scheduled to be built daily will get a "Build now" action to manually initiate the daily build. The action will only be available if the recipe is stale and the user has upload permissions to the recipe's daily build archive. The action performs the same operation as the request_daily_builds job run by the cron script.
