As a slight aside, the build path varies between the two builds is
currently:

  /build/1st/notcurses-2.1.3+dfsg.1/
  /build/2/notcurses-2.1.3+dfsg.1/2nd/

… which is actually 2 bytes difference, not 4. Still, it may be
referenced twice (making 4…), and padding/alignment is a thing on most
architectures.

(I point this out in case others are confused about a 2-byte
difference offset elsewhere in the future, rather than suggesting it
is the cause in this specific instance.)
