(This does not address your question about extending to Linux, but...) Could you describe this phenomenon and interaction pattern with Android developers in more detail? I would particularly interested in what incentives, thought patterns or obstacles you believe you are encountering here. I ask because a big part of the purpose of "Reproducible Builds" existing as a community/project is education, ie. to reach out to other communities so we can work together towards common goals. Understanding what other communities' incentives are is therefore highly instructive in working out how we can collaborate, and I don't believe I have a firm grasp on the Android perspective.
