Since working on this in June 2018 I have: * NMU'd src:mtools to incorporate the required reproducibility patches in 4.0.18-2.1. * Subsequently salvaged the mtools package and packaged the latest upstream version (4.0.23-1). * Rebased the corresponding merge request since the recent secure boot / EFI changes by Steve. I would dearly love to have reproducible installer images for buster and indeed this would be a good thing to provide and offer, let alone announce in the release notes, etc. Now that mtools has been sorted out, could this bug & corresponding merge request get a closer look? Thanks in advance. Best wishes, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
