The /usr/bin/cdrskin files of 1.4.0-2 and 1.4.0-3 are identical
(at least their MD5s are).
Curse or blessing of reproducible building.

These were identical.

If i set such a thing at compile time then i don't get
commended by the ReproducibleBuilds project. :))
(That's why i dropped my plan to add argument "buildstamped"
 to the debuild "make" run. One todo point less.)


So it is explainable that symbol loading works between
fewly different package versions.
I would still like to know how i managed to break it.
Just to be able to avoid this in future.

Will watch this when i make packages of the future
upstream releases.


Have a nice day :)
