Oh, hang on, does src:debian-installer's .changes file include these
extra files? That might be what I'm missing.

My conception is that as we call diffoscope on the two .changes files
it will report they are reproducible as, well, the binary package will
(likely…) be identical.

Nod, I guess we would want that for true jenkins.debian.org "please
save the build artifacts" support but for now getting a red/green
light would be interesting in/of itself.
