Ah, I think I see what you're saying. For equal angular travel the DS nipples will tend to pull the rim to the side more than the NDS.
TECHNICALLY because of the flatter angle of the drive side spokes you should tighten those a few degrees less because of the trigonometry of the setup they will pull the wheel to that side more than the other. In practice the difference is lost among the other issues affecting the rim alignment during the building process. Again in practice you'll be bringing the spokes up to tension, truing and stress relieving in stages and all those things happening at once puts any slight difference in the pulling way down in the basement of issues.
I have noticed in the past that there is a tendency for the rim to walk to the DS side a little due to this issue but I just compensate for it during the various truings as I work the wheel up to tension. I certainly would not bother going out of your way to ensure you wind on the DS spokes by 3 degrees less of a turn each time or anything of that sort.
