I mostly agree. The only thing is that I doesn't see it as only
aesthetic bug anymore when thinking about reproducible builds. (But
the remainder is purely aesthetic, yes.)

I also explicitly omitted the severity as I wasn't sure about it.
Setting it explicitly to minor now.

Marking it as "fixed upstream" hence.

I really like that solution: It will cause a few FTBFS and hence make
this issue fixed whereever it shows up.

I'll start fixing my packages. :-)

I also like the fact that you mention reproducibility in the Changes
files.

Thanks for the very prompt and sane upstream fix!
