Does a image build can be seen as 'fresh'?

[siredmar]

I have the situation that i have a docker image i want to build.
This image gets used by several jobs.
I know that the image pull once will not be performed if the image is already present. Therefore dependent jobs will only be called if their own sources/artifact configures dictates it.
However when i am building the image via context/dockerfile the dependency tree of those jobs that might not run because of their sources/artifacts are run every time.
This might be by design because no job does know about any previously not met dependency. But still: is there any way for me to mark the image as "don't rebuild this all the time"?
