Hi,

72/3141 (2.29%) of installed binary packages are unreproducible.
user at talk:~$ dpkg -l | wc -l
1472
user at talk:~$ 

IOW, I have 1472 packages installed, yet reproducible-check claims 72/3141 of 
installed binary packages are unreproducible.

This doesn't match up.

Then, I'm also not sure if I see 72 packages in the output above :)

And finally and foremost, 97.71% reproducible packages seems to be a bit high.
