Bug#993339: Package: reprotest Debian Salsa reprotest fails due to different compile times

[Christopher Talbot]

Package: reprotest

Hello,

Debian Salsa seems to fail reprotest due to different compile times.
This has been tested on multiple different packages that use the
following CIs:

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/raw/master/salsa-ci.yml
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/raw/master/pipeline-jobs.yml

One recent example is here:
https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/vvmd/-/pipelines/283265

When looking at the debs with diffoscope, I get example output like
below (it happens with several files, I only included one for brevity):

There are other examples here:

https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/mmsd-tng/-pipelines/268364
https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/osk-sdl/-/pipelines/239174

In osk-sdl, it seemed to be fixed by running it a day later.
