I agree that the cause of the problem seems to be unrelated to mocha: I 
wrongly assumed that the issue was but but apparently it began in 
December: 
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/history/node-terser.html

That said, I am puzzled by the build failure you are presenting here - 
my build failures and those at tests.reproducible-builds.org are 
unrelated to help2man - can you please share more information about how 
you ensure that the build environment is clean (do you use pbuilder or 
some other method?) and ideally point to a full build log (please 
reference only, not attach: it is rather big).


Thanks for helping look into this,

 - Jonas
