Actually, I think it's neither of those: this appears to be #969501. If Multi-Arch: same packages are binNMU'd, the date on each architecture's changelog entry is different, so SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH takes a different value. The changelog entries shown in the build logs: > Binary-Only-Changes: > elfutils (0.182+20210203-1.1+b1) sid; urgency=low, binary-only=yes > . > * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for amd64; no source changes. > * Rebuild with dh-strip-nondeterminism 1.10.0-1 > . > -- all / amd64 / i386 Build Daemon (x86-conova-01) > <buildd_amd64-x86-conova...@buildd.debian.org> Fri, 05 Feb 2021 12:41:43 > +0000 > > Binary-Only-Changes: > elfutils (0.182+20210203-1.1+b1) sid; urgency=low, binary-only=yes > . > * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for i386; no source changes. > * Rebuild with dh-strip-nondeterminism 1.10.0-1 > . > -- i386 Build Daemon (x86-grnet-01) > <buildd_amd64-x86-grnet...@buildd.debian.org> Fri, 05 Feb 2021 12:42:10 +0000 have dates that are consistent with the PO-Revision-Date in the resulting binary packages: > │ │ │ │ --- > libelf1_0.182+20210203-1.1+b1_amd64/usr/share/locale/en@boldquot/LC_MESSAGES/elfutils.mo > │ │ │ ├── +++ > libelf1_0.182+20210203-1.1+b1_i386/usr/share/locale/en@boldquot/LC_MESSAGES/elfutils.mo ... > │ │ │ │ │ -"PO-Revision-Date: 2021-02-05 12:41+0000\n" > │ │ │ │ │ +"PO-Revision-Date: 2021-02-05 12:42+0000\n" Workaround: another sourceful NMU would get them back into alignment. Helmut, would you be able to do a new NMU with no changes other than the changelog? For elfutils, breaking out an Architecture: all elfutils-l10n or elfutils-common package would also work around this, at the cost of a trip through NEW. I'm going to report a separate wishlist bug for this. I suspect the only long-term solution to this in general would be to replace binNMUs with automated "rebuild, no source changes" sourceful uploads, like Ubuntu uses (e.g. <https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/claws-mail> as of today). smcv
