Hm, you know, I think there must be. In fact, connecting a few dots in
my head, that now makes three recent reproducibility bugs that the
buildds are not, if you can excuse the expression, reproducing:

  1. https://bugs.debian.org/1055919 (this bug)
  2. https://bugs.debian.org/1053353
  3. https://bugs.debian.org/1000401

I would be more than willing to conclude that this is an issue in
tests.reproducible-builds.org setup. However, I am actually seeing
these test files when I build locally as well — and my patch
consequently fixes the "problem". Moreover, I am not using the same
setup as tests.reproducible-builds.org at all. (Can you confirm whether
you see them when building locally?)

I won't file any more until this has been more generally resolved.
Hopefully I haven't been filing similar issues recently (#1055920?)
and not realising it.

(Has a build-dependency changed and then the buildd chroots are out of
sync? Is that even possible? Am I?)
