Yes, at the bottom of the rbuild log.

Yes, you're totally right; it just take some work to do, it has been in
the todo for a while, but it's rare enough to not in fact be a problem
usually.
For now all situations where we're not totally sure a package is
reproducible (in our current framework), it'll be marked as unrep.
