Hi all,
I think that there is a consensus that generated files must be regenerable, and
that it is a bug if their build system is broken. The best way to ensure this
is to regenerate them at build time, however it is not a requirement. In
particular, I do not see advantages in distributing rebuilds that would for
instance only update time stamps. It is increasing debdiffs and heating the
planet for no benefit.
Have a nice day,
