Debian has made reproducible builds a strict requirement for packages entering its testing branch. The change applies to the Debian 14 Forky cycle and took effect on May 9.
Debian's release team announced that any package failing a reproducibility check will be blocked from migration. This applies both to new packages and to those already in testing that later lose reproducibility. Paul Gevers shared the update on the debian-devel-announce mailing list.
