[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Mixed kloak anti keystroke / mice deanonymization tool package or better two separate packages?

Looks cool.

I only had a quick look at the packaging, but I did not look in detail,
so forgive me any stupid questions.

In the Debian packaging you are currently using faketime
(https://github.com/vmonaco/kloak/blob/master/debian/gain-root-command)
I never had to package anything that way, so I wonder if the aim here is
to make this package reproducible? If yes, this might be worth a read:
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal#Last-resort_using_faketime
and https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/timestamps/ (using
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH).

And I wonder why you would need to call fakeroot that way? Is this for a
local build, instead of a build in a chroot?

But maybe I misunderstand the use of the gain-root-command file though.

Cheers,
ulrike
