For the record, here's the one that can currently be used on user
systems:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/misc.git/tree/prebuilder

Setup is documented on the wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/ExperimentalToolchain#Usage_example

My guts say that until we need a custom repository for core packages
(e.g. dpkg), it's not worth being included in devscripts.
