Hi!
While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that mutt could not be built reproducibly [2]: file ordering inside
README.Patches varies.
While I couldn't reproduce the problem locally (against git 12ae807bfb9e
in sid/sbuild), I believe the following patch should resolve it:
[[[
diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index 5d52e30..7b8425d 100755
