Those shortfalls are a consequence of our packaging habits. In an ideal
world, would running a test suite ever build a different derivation?

Should it ever affect a package's reproducibility?

Please bear with me as I again belabor the same point without receiving
public support. Building packages should be separate from testing them.

Carthaginem esse delendam.

Kind regards
