Hello, Thanks for catching the reproducibility issue, I changed the nocheck behavior to install the example sources without building them, so the outputs should be identical now. I just uploaded a release over on https://mentors.debian.net/package/sol2/ that addresses this and also some of the miscellaneous items on the tracker page (i.e. updating the standards version/adding Multi-Arch: foreign where appropriate). Would you mind sponsoring the upload?
