build-ids are kind of a checksum of all compiler inputs (files,
toolchain version, compiler flags, ...) that is embodied into resulting
ELF objects. Having them change is an indication that something changed.
I tend to use reproducible builds to validate packaging changes as a way
of confirming that no binary changes happen when I do not expect binary
changes to happen. In this case, the validation showed unexpected
build-id changes, so the strong "the .debs did not change" assertion
cannot be made and there is a slight risk of missing other unintended
changes in review. Other than that build-ids change frequently. Every
change to the last timestamp in debian/changelog (i.e. every upload)
changes build-ids. Every toolchain upload changes build-ids.

So yeah, you can ignore this and apply the patch.
