Dear buildd maintainers,

since a while dpkg adds a small note to a .buildinfo if /usr/local/sbin
is populated (which I'm not sure I agree is sensible, but it's what dpkg
currently does), eg

holger@profitbricks-build7-amd64:~jenkins/userContent/reproducible/debian/ftp-master.debian.org/buildinfo/2020$
 rgrep Build-Tainted-By: 08/ |wc -l
35473
holger@profitbricks-build7-amd64:~jenkins/userContent/reproducible/debian/ftp-master.debian.org/buildinfo/2020$
 find 08 -name "*.buildinfo" | wc -l
37182

so almost all .buildinfo files from August 2020 are tainted.

(profitbricks7 is hosting https://buildinfos.debian.net if you want to check
for yourself easily.)

So how are they tainted:

holger@profitbricks-build7-amd64:~jenkins/userContent/reproducible/debian/ftp-master.debian.org/buildinfo/2020$
 grep -A 2 Build-Tainted-By: 08/06/firejail_0.9.62-4_ppc64el-buildd.buildinfo
Build-Tainted-By:
 usr-local-has-programs
Installed-Build-Depends:


And then, also, not all .buildinfo files are taited by "usr-local-has-programs" 
because
holger@profitbricks-build7-amd64:~jenkins/userContent/reproducible/debian/ftp-master.debian.org/buildinfo/2020$
 rgrep usr-local-has-programs 08/ |wc -l
35017

(But I guess that's probably material for another bug report.)

Any chance the Debian buildds could not have a tained /usr/local?


Thanks for maintaining all these buildds!

cheers,
        Holger
