That's actually our fault, sorry if it leaked off to you.  In unstable
we are experimenting with build path variation, and that causes
unreproducible results unless a patched gcc (coupled with a patched
dpkg) is in use.  We aren't setting any block, so every time a new gcc
is uploaded to the regular archive it overwrites our version…

I've scheduled both pwgen and e2fsprogs for rebuild now, thye should
turn sunny soon.
