Source: bootp
Version: 2.4.3-21
Severity: important

Hi,

bootp is currently not reproducible on reproduce.d.n:

https://reproduce.debian.net/amd64/#bootp

We found that is due to dpkg switching to Rules-Requires-Root: no by
default. More precisely: building src:bootp with Rules-Requires-Root:
binary-targets reproduced the packages from the buildd whereas setting
it to no produces a different package, which is also reproducible. You
can find more information on the dpkg switch here:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/11/msg00535.html

I am filling this bug as I don't have enough experience with the package
to decide if the difference changes the package behaviour and the next
upload will switch to the different build without any failure.

>From my understanding you have three options:

- Inspect the difference and decide if it is unimportant.

- Set Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets to make sure the package
  builds as before (and make it reproducible with it).

- Rework debian/rules to make the package build without root.

Cheers Jochen
