Notes for bglibs - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 1.106-1.1
Identified issues:
Identifier: random_order_in_md5sums
Description order of files in md5sums (in control.tar.gz) differ from build1 to build2. This only happens in
packages not using dh_md5sums and it's easily fixed by sorting the output of "find" before
piping it to md5sum. Example:
.
cd debian/tmp && \
find * -type f ! -regex "^DEBIAN/.*" -print0 |\
LC_ALL=C sort -z | xargs -0r md5sum > DEBIAN/md5sums
Bugs noted: 1037276#: "bglibs: reproducible-builds: Different path to perl in cli-generate"
Comments: /usr/bin/cli-generate embeds the path to perl differently when
built on a usrmerge vs. non-usrmerge system.
