Please find below a draft of the message I'll send to each affected bugreport. Note: I confused myself when writing this; in fact Salsa-CI reprotest _does_ continue to test build-path variance, at least until we decide otherwise. --- BEGIN DRAFT --- Because Debian builds packages from a fixed build path, customized build paths are _not_ currently evaluated by the 'reprotest' utility in Salsa-CI, or during package builds on the Reproducible Builds team's package test infrastructure for Debian[1]. This means that this package will pass current reproducibility tests; however we still believe that source code and/or build steps embed the build path into binary package output, making it more difficult that necessary for independent consumers to confirm whether their local compilations produce identical binary artifacts. As a result, this bugreport will remain open and be assigned the 'wishlist' severity[2]. ...
