The difference is not caused by the architecture, but by the version
of Build-Dependencies with which the file was compiled — on arm64 and
ppc64el it was built last month, presumably because those are new
architectures, and it was built using TeXLive 2014. On the other
(older) architectures, the package was built 270 days ago, with
TeXLive 2013.

I don’t think Debian offers a way to have reproducible builds under
these circumstances, i.e. I cannot expect all builds of my package to
have _exactly_ the same Build-Dependencies available.

Hence, I’m inclined to close this bug report without actually doing
anything. Do you agree or is there something that we can do to avoid
getting into this situation in the future? For now, I’ll upload 1.17-6
soon, and then the file will be the same on all architectures again.
