Bug#900837: release.debian.org: Mass-rebuild of packages for reproducible builds

Package: release.debian.org

Hi,

Holger recently started a thread on debian-devel regarding packages
which may need to be rebuilt in order that buster is reproducible:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/05/thrd2.html#00499

Continued here:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/06/threads.html#00007

As this is now the the second or third time this issue has slipped our
mind (!) when attempting to enumerate all of our big "blocker issues",
I'm filing this issue.

Note that this is a placeholder and way to centralise discussion of
the issue as well as having a canonical location to link to, rather
than it being an explicit request for action right now.

If you believe this bug is assigned to the wrong package, feel free
to reassign it elsewhere.


Best wishes,
