I suspect it won’t be that interesting to the Debian ecosystem, since we 
generate pyc files on package install.  We do that because we can support 
multiple versions of Python installed simultaneously and we don’t know which 
versions are installed on the target machine.  I suppose our stdlib package 
could ship pycs, but we don’t.

Reproducible builds may still be interesting in other situations though, such 
as CI machines, but then SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is probably good enough.
