Hi,
I investigated why mandos-client shows up as not being reproducible on
reproduce.debian.net [1]. I figured out that it is because dh_fixperms
is skipped on the examples directory. Rebuilding the binaries with the
examples directory dropped from the exclude line in debian/rules
resulted in an identical binary package (checked with diffoscope), see
0001-dh_fixperms-don-t-apply-on-examples.patch. I also couldn't figure
out why the Rules-Requires-Root was set, dropping that also resulted in
identical binaries. See 0002-d-control-don-t-use-Rules-Requires-Root.patch.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dh_fixperms: don't apply on examples
Files in the examples directory are created with owner set to the builder and
excluding them from dh_fixperms makes them being installed as such. This causes
issues when people try to reproduce the mandos-client binary.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] d/control: don't use Rules-Requires-Root
It's unclear why this would be needed and build artifacts are equal
without it.
