If this is truly the scale of the problem now, then I would prefer we just fixed the remaining packages and moved on.If the problem is measured in "considerably more" packages, then I might reconsider.it is much bigger, it affects roughly 5% of the archive: in unstable: $ apt-file search -x 'buildinfo_(amd64|all).gz | wc -l 3742 $ build-rdeps dh-buildinfo | tail -2 | head -1 Found a total of 1459 reverse build-depend(s) for dh-buildinfo. and contrary to my assumptions a few days ago, these not only cause unreproducibility when cross-building, but also when doing native rebuilds. (because dh-buildinfo documents all installed packages, while dpkg's .buildinfo implementation only records installed build-depends of the package being build, thus missing packages like apt, login or fakeroot...)
Ok, can someone provide a salsa MR or a patch against debhelper for that base of what we are pulling into debhelper, so I can easier review what I would potentially accept?
Best regards, Niels
