You are right, sorry and thanks for the upload. 

I just did some more tests and it seems that the package is currently 
not reproducible on reproduce.d.n as that is using ext4, whereas the 
Debian buildds are using tmpfs. It reproduces just fine for me when 
when compiling on thmpfs, even on the reproduce.d.n hosts.

In case you have any idea why, I would be really interested.

Anyway, I hope we will switch reproduce.d.n to tmpfs soon.

Cheers Jochen
