Since this test would involve building every package at least twice, I think it wouldn't be possible for most users who would run `make check`. > > , store the results, and make the results available to users. > > Could Cuiriass - or what our soon-to-be-replacement of hydra is called > again - do this?

Right, I think that testing all the packages for reproducibility is best done by the continuous integration server, whether Hydra or Cuirass. The CI server can perform the tests on a variety of build farm machines, record the results, and present them to users somehow.
