[Reproducible-builds] automated diffoscope for parallel build bugs

[Jeremy Bicha]

Hi,

I used diffoscope to find a bug when gedit is compiled in parallel.[1]
I think we'll be switching quite a few GNOME packages over to dh
compat 10 soon with parallel building enabled by default.

Do you have any suggestions for how we could easily automate building
a bunch of packages with and without parallel and then running the
output through diffoscope to detect bugs like this?

Going a step further, maybe reproducible-builds.org should do this
check since it seems it would be relatively easy to implement there.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
