Looks good.

So, on doing a debdiff, the main .deb is same, what is differing is the debug
symbols (segemehl-dbgsym_0.3.4-4+salsaci_amd64.deb) instead
$ debdiff control/source-root/segemehl_0.3.4-4+salsaci_amd64.deb
experiment-1/source-root/segemehl_0.3.4-4+salsaci_amd64.deb 1>/dev/null
$ echo $?
0
$ debdiff control/source-root/segemehl-dbgsym_0.3.4-4+salsaci_amd64.deb
experiment-1/source-root/segemehl-dbgsym_0.3.4-4+salsaci_amd64.deb 1>/dev/null
$ echo $?
1

So I'd suggest disabling reprotest for this package simply.
Look at the logol package to see how that can be done
