it is much bigger, it affects roughly 5% of the archive:
in unstable:
$ apt-file search -x 'buildinfo_(amd64|all).gz | wc -l
3742
$ build-rdeps dh-buildinfo | tail -2 | head -1
Found a total of 1459 reverse build-depend(s) for dh-buildinfo.
and contrary to my assumptions a few days ago, these not only cause
unreproducibility
when cross-building, but also when doing native rebuilds. (because dh-buildinfo
documents all installed packages, while dpkg's .buildinfo implementation
only records installed build-depends of the package being build, thus missing
packages like apt, login or fakeroot...)

We are not moving into a 1.5C world, we are briefly passing through it in 2024.
