Build with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck" when testing for reproducibility?

This sounds like a good idea!

I was raising this in the context of actual
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian, not Salsa CI. But if you
have lots of hardware then I guess running the post-build tests is not
an issue from resource point of view, and if you start running the
second build with "nocheck" the cases where tests indeed affect the
build artifacts will be caught.
