After Reading some more of The 'Fine' Manuals, including Debian's docs then

I stand corrected, many binary packages are copied verbatim - so Thank You.
Of course, the checksums being the same is of itself not enough to go on. A
fully self compiling one person distro would conceivably write a script to
fix the file timestamps etc in their own version of the .deb so a compare
against the original can be done and a lot of compilation log surfing
avoided. Which would seem to be what's needed here.
