Dear Maintainer,

Because Debian builds packages from a fixed build path, customized build paths
are _not_ currently evaluated by the 'reprotest' utility in Salsa-CI, or during
package builds on the Reproducible Builds team's package test infrastructure
for Debian[1].

This means that this package will pass current reproducibility tests; however
we still believe that source code and/or build steps embed the build path into
binary package output, making it more difficult that necessary for independent
consumers to confirm whether their local compilations produce identical binary
artifacts.

As a result, this bugreport will remain open and be assigned the 'wishlist'
severity[2].

Regards,
James
