The Build ID for /usr/bin/beav varies depending on the build path:

  
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/beav.html

  Build·ID:·b98458c1b98af30cedde216318ef9d49db589091
  vs.
  Build·ID:·84365d92cbb6e196f85314ed4e72a254acdad00d


The attached patch to debian/rules fixes this by passing
-ffile-prefix-map via CFLAGS.


Alternately, updating the packaging to use dh/debhelper at a recent
compat level would also likely fix this.


There is one other outstanding issue with embedded timestamps (#777287)
that triggers reproducibility issues, but with both patches applied,
beav should build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!


Given that Sam Hocevar is on the lowNMU list and hasn't responded to the
other patches on this package for some years, I plan to upload an NMU to
fix this soon.
