Same.. :(

Hm, I'm not entirely convinced. Whilst h-w *did* exist, it not only stuck
around far too long, I fear that a parallel reproducibile-wrapper will stick
around even longer and be even harder still to eventually deprecate as it
will be used a lot more due to Policy pushes and/or general buzz around
getting one's packages reproducible.

It's also — and this should go without saying — unspeakably ugly!
