Bug#1144480: qgis regressed in reproducibility

[Jochen Sprickerhof]

Source: qgis
Version: 3.44.13+dfsg-2
Severity: serious

Usertags: randomness

Hi,

src:qgis in unstable can't migrate to testing because the QA
infrastructure couldn't reproduce the some binary packages in
unstable while it could reproduce the version in testing [1, 2].

>From the diff it looks like some randomness is compiled in, maybe due to
some auto generated source code? Based on the diff to -1 it could also
be in some other package.

Feel free to reach out if you need help debugging the problem but I
assume it will not be easy. Alternatively you can ask the release team
for an exception [3].

Cheers Jochen
