 For testing the impact of allowing variations of the buildpath (which up until
-now we required to be identical for repoducible rebuilds), Reiner Herrmann contribed a
-patch which enabled build path variations on testing/i386. This is possible now
-that dpkg 1.18.10 has enabled the --fixdebugpath build flag feature by default,
-which should give us reproducible builds even with varying paths. So far we
-don't have many results yet due to disturbances in our build network in the last
-days, but it seems this would mean roughly between 5-10% additional unreproducible
-packages - compared to what we see now. We'll keep you updated on the numbers
-(and problems) as we find them.
