The build was made in my autobuilder with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
but it also fails here in both buster and sid with a very similar error:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/pep8.html

Please consider uploading in source-only form (dpkg-buildpackage -S) so that this
kind of bugs never propagate to testing.

Thanks.
