Consider package A, contains PNGs, and package B, embeds the PNGs
from package A into its output (B can be identical to A). Then
consider package C which runs B at build time ⇒ C is not reproducible.

But yes, that’s esoterical. Anyway, I’m glad the issue ended up at
the right package in the meantime, thanks everyone!

<igli> it's like anti-design.  <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
