We also need reproducible build to finally cover most of debian ...




80% is misleading, since there are still variations that are missing, like user shells, build paths and filesystems (disorderfs isn't used yet).

Sure, but variations are there so the reproducible builds are more robust and can be done natively. It doesn't mean that you can't reproduce these packages, just stick to the standard build paths, filesystems, etc...

Also, I see that user login shell is varied.


My font package is not. I am curious as to why would that be. Can you give me a hand with that?

See the comments on the reproducible builds website and ask on the #debian-reproducible IRC channel on OFTC if you need more info:
