Hi Chris, Could you clarify how this showed up as an issue as part of the reproducible builds work? There seems to be some resistance to the change in https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/pull/279 that I don't quite understand, and it'd be nice to demonstrate more clearly that it's relevant outside Debian... Cheers, Dominic.
