>From a couple of "fixes":

-export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all
+# Disable fixfilepath feature, as it triggers build failures when
+# enabled.
+export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all reproducible=-fixfilepath

That's not a fix but hiding the dirt under the carpet. You are not
fixing the root issue nor the reproducibility one.
