Mirrors. As https://buildinfo.debian.net/ states, it is entirely proof-of-

Related to this is how we show/expose reproducibility to end users, if it

That is indeed the case. :)

I had been slightly focusing elsewhere until stretch was released but now
hat has happened I would completely agree that we should start thinking
about how to get this right for buster.
