Sorry but I don't quite follow your reasoning here.
We should always do as much as possible to make a build reproducible,
at the very least to see what is left to do. This is justification
enough to remove this override line given that #877418 is resolved.
(In other words, working on a "it's not 100% reproducible so let's not
bother at all" is actually counter-productive and actually somewhat
demotivating.)
Saying that, according to my tests when I filed this bug, the problem
is simply a umask one, not a bytecode one so removing your override
will make the package reproducible.
I therefore entreat you to revert this change.
Best wishes,
