           <li>The goal is to replicate the same build process that is used by Debian during package publication -- not to seek out additional sources of variance.</li>
           <li>Variance testing, used to find factors that can prevent packages from rebuilding reproducibly, will continue at <a href="https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/reproducible.html">https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/reproducible.html</a>.</li>
