Since then:
- it built on the buildd:
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=libdevel-gdb-perl&ver=2.02-3
- it never failed on ci.d.n:
  https://ci.debian.net/packages/libd/libdevel-gdb-perl/unstable/amd64/
  https://ci.debian.net/packages/libd/libdevel-gdb-perl/unstable/arm64/
- it built in the reproducible build setup on all 3 arches:
  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/libdevel-gdb-perl.html
  but indeed there are failures in the past:
  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/history/libdevel-gdb-perl.html
- it failed for Santiago (message #51)
- I still can't get t/expect.t to fail, even if running it under
  heavy load in a loop.
- On the CPAN testers we see occosional failures:
  http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Devel-GDB+2.02
