Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
ncurses could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the README.gz file will retain its group-writeable bit
due to the use of dh_fixperms -Xfoo, and will thus vary when the package
is built with a different umask:
--rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 7937 2021-03-07
00:08:58.000000 ./usr/libexec/ncurses-examples/README.gz
+-rw-rw-r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 7937 2021-03-07
00:08:58.000000 ./usr/libexec/ncurses-examples/README.gz
Patch attached that removes this bit manually, but feel free to go with a
different solution, of course.
