Package: dropbear-initramfs
Version: 2022.83-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I am building reproducible initramfs using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
This works great, but unfortunately, dropbear-initramfs breaks reproducibility,
because it creates a randomly named /root-XXXXXXX directory to store the
authorized_keys file. This is done in debian/hooks/dropbear.
It would be great if this could be fixed.
One solution would be to simply always use /root-dropbear-initramfs.
I have attached such a patch.
