Notes for highlight.js - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 8.2+ds-4
Identified issues:
Identifier: randomness_in_documentation_generated_by_sphinx
URL https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/SphinxIssues
Description Sphinx might output references to memory addresses and generate a json index file
with entries in random order or with non-deterministic values (eg. searchindex.js).
See https://bugs.debian.org/822197 for memory address issue
.
searchindex.js needs sort_keys=True (jsonimpl.py) but the key values vary too.
Identifier: random_id_in_pdf_generated_by_dblatex
URL http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2017-June/040398.html
Description eg.
/ID [<1ebdbec86dcab3e39cf225470b799ae8> <1ebdbec86dcab3e39cf225470b799ae8>]
.
Not caused by build path nor by the minute used to build at least.
Intermediate "--tempdir=docbuild" has no differences.
.
ID is varying because texlive generates it based on the build path, see also
pdf_id_varying_due_to_build_path issue.
