I would only consider switching the default if at the same time, some checks were done that made sure that the result is bit-by-bit identical to the original. The source package is the *input* to sbuild not its output. If sbuild builds the source package it can happen that the resulting source package is not what was given to sbuild to get built before. So if the source package gets rebuilt and checked whether it is bit-by-bit identical to what was given to sbuild before, then essentially we would've enforced reproducible source packages. If I remember correctly, reproducible source packages are something that the reproducible builds team discarded as a concept many years ago. So what should be the plan instead? Thanks! cheers, josch
