Bug#833284: reprotest: please add a "buildpath" variation to reprotest

[Ximin Luo]

Control: retitle -1 add the ability to disable buildpath variations

reprotest actually already builds in /tmp/autopkgtest.*/control vs 
experimental, but I'll add an option to disable this variation. When it is 
disabled, parallel builds would be impossible to make work (with most virtual 
servers), though.

Bug#833284: reprotest: please add a "buildpath" variation to reprotest

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: reprotest
Version: 0.2
Severity: normal

The list of variations supported by reprotest doesn't appear to
include changing the build path.

We should be able to generate identical output regardless of where in
the filesystem the build takes place, so supporting this variation
would be a useful contribution to overall reproducibility.

thanks for writing reprotest!
