Hi everyone,

Those shortfalls are a consequence of our packaging habits. In an ideal
world, would running a test suite ever build a different derivation?
Should it ever affect a package's reproducibility?
Please bear with me as I again belabor the same point without receiving
public support. Building packages should be separate from testing them.
Carthaginem esse delendam.
Kind regards
