[Qa-jenkins-dev] Bug#901473: jenkins.debian.org: Vary merged-usr in reproducibility testing?

[Michael Biebl]

debootstrap was changed (again) in 1.0.102 to now default to
--merged-usr [1].

Systems are not forcefully upgraded to a merged-usr setup atm though.
buildds are regularly re-created from scratch and will thus have a
merged-usr setup.
This means, binaries that were built in a merged-usr buildd environment
will now run on a lot of non-merged-usr setups.

If we could auto-detect any problems resulting from that via the
reproducible builds effort, this would be great.

regards,
Michael
