I've just prepared a patch supposedly fixing this, but I've never used
reprepro and don't even know how it works, so it's just built-tested.
We are now performing some tests, and will update the report once this
is confirmed to work.

(The preliminary and perhaps non-working patch can be found for now at
https://www.hadrons.org/~guillem/tmp/0001-Add-preliminary-.buildinfo-support.patch)

Thanks,
Guillem
