Just replying to this bit as I have a slight timezone advantage over
Vagrant. I believe that, from your point of view, "build with
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS" refers to setting this variable in debian/rules and
then uploading the [source] package as before. For example:

  export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=reproducible=-fixfilepath,+fixdebugpath

This environment variable will affect the workings and output of
dpkg-buildflags(1), setting different compiler flags where needed.
