[Reproducible-builds] dpkg has lost some of its superpowers

[Santiago Vila]

Hi.

Some packages have started to FTBR again:

--- aaa/dialog_1.2-20150920-1_amd64.deb
+++ bbb/dialog_1.2-20150920-1_amd64.deb

This is the only difference, and even if the package does not use
debhelper, it does everything a non-debhelper-using package is
supposed to do to be reproducible (or at least that's what I thought).

I suspect of (our forked) dpkg, hence the subject :-)

Thanks.
