Finding merged /usr bugs through reproducible builds?

Hi,
could you change the reproducible builds to find bugs like #843433,
ideally with a rebuild of everything that is currently building
reproducibly?
If one of the builds would use merged /usr and the other would not,
then bugs like #843433 should show up as difference in the build.
Thanks
Adrian
BTW: #843433 might not be found this way due to systemd not building
reproducible, but similar bugs in many other packages could be
found this way.
