The lynx documentation has many differences between two builds: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/lynx.html /usr/share/doc/lynx-common/lynx_help/body.html.gz In one of the builds, there has several occurrences of: Support·for·this·setting·was·disabled·at·compile-time. All of the documentation differences disappeared for me when disabling parallelism in the build (and fixing the usrmerge issue reported in another bug). The attached patch passes --no-parallel to dh in debian/rules to accomplish this. I do not know weather this is actually a more serious issue where various features are actually disabled between the two builds or only a documentation difference. This does not resolve all reproducibility issues (e.g. when /bin/sh points to bash), but should reduce some of the noise when comparing the differences. live well, vagrant
