Re: towards a reproducible forky

If this is the end of packages which FTBFS randomly, I celebrate.

I think our goal should be this one:

A. Every time I try to build the package, the package builds ok,
and moreover the .debs are always the same.

Unfortunately some people are happy enough with this one:

B. Every time I try to build the package, if the package builds ok
then the .debs are always the same.

The difference between A and B is this one, and I consider that
to be more important than reproducibility itself, as it may
have implications regarding DFSG compliance:

C. Every time I try to build the package, the package builds ok.

Is there any chance to include this in the overall goal, or are you
aiming at B only?

Thanks.
