    Regarding to reproducible, I would suggest Debian should consider
    integrating Nix[0] into Debian; as Nix's website mentions

    Nix builds packages in isolation from each other. This ensures that
    they are reproducible and don’t have undeclared dependencies, so if a package works on one machine, it will also work on another.

    I doubt that building packages in isolation from each other makes
    them reproducible, especially in the context which is discussed in this
    bug.

    Cheers,
    Georg
