FWIW i'm preparing a commit right now which will change the reproducible-builds
infrastructure in so far as:

- bullseye will not be tested anymore for differences of building with or
  without the usrmerge package installed (just like stretch and buster were
  and are not).
- bookworn and unstable will be tested for differences of building with or
  without the usrmerge package installed.
