Notes about issue random_order_of_pdf_ids_generated_by_latex in unstable

Identifier: random_order_of_pdf_ids_generated_by_latex
Suites: unstable / trixie / bookworm / bullseye / experimental
URL: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2017-June/040398.html
Description: latex uses IDs such as dcf70a72907fd3b4786a8ec9b9155636 to identify
elements. Whilst these are deterministic, the ordering they are outputted
are not deterministic.

This can be disabled by inserting \pdftrailerid{} into the PDF document,
