Hi Ritesh,

It seems that a local sbuild in a clean chroot doesn't set the
environment the same way that reproducible-builds.org does, as 4.17.0-1
builds correctly in that environment.  But that's a separate concern.

I just wanted to comment that the reproducible-builds.org build for
4.18.0-2 is successful, and that is the version we would like to get
into bullseye.  It is currently blocked by #979609 [1].

Cheers,
tony
