+- .buildinfo file workflow design problem: Autobuilders only generate the arch:all and arch:any binary packages from the source package they are given. They do not regenerate the source package. Thus, they will call dpkg-buildpackage with --build=any or --build=all which in turn will create a .buildinfo that doesn't contain the source hash. (see #774415)

 	- keep git at github.com:reproducible-builds/website.git automatically in sync with https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/reproducible-website.git or at least have a daily jenkins job which complains if it's not
 	- merge the faq branch
