Since this bug report was also caused by numerous other issues
(timestamps, locale and username), not just build paths, I have switched
the severity back to normal ... it still does not build reproducibly and
would be nice to get this at least partially fixed.

Again, it does not solve all reproducibility issues, but significantly
reducing the diff would be really helpful to resolve the remaining
issues.

Given the lack of comment the last four years, I propose to NMU this
soon.
