-When building Debian packages, `dpkg` currently passes options to the underlying build system to,stripping out the build path from generated binaries. However, many binaries still end up including the build path because they embed the entire compiler command-line which includes, ironically, the very flags designed to prevent that occurring. Vagrant Cascadian therefore [filed a bug against the Debian `dpkg` package](https://bugs.debian.org/985553) to use [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/)'s `.spec` files to specify the `fixfilepath` and `fixdebugpath` options. This supplies the build path to GCC via the `DEB_BUILD_PATH` environment variable, thus avoid passing the path on the command-line itself. Related to this, it was noticed that [Debian unstable reached 85% reproducibility](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/unstable/index_suite_amd64_stats.html) for the first time since enabling variations in the build path.

 Frédéric Pierret has been working on a partial copy of the [`snapshot.debian.org`](https://snapshot.debian.org/) "wayback machine" service limited solely to the packages needed to rebuild Debian *bullseye* on the `amd64` architecture. This is to workaround the bandwidth and other perceived limitations of `snapshot.debian.org`. Whilst the mirror itself is reachable at [`debian.notset.fr`](https://debian.notset.fr/snapshot/), the software for creating that partial mirror [is available in Frédéric's Git repository](https://github.com/fepitre/snapshot-mirror). Currently, Frédéric's service has mirrored 4 months in 2 weeks, but needs approximately 3-5 years of content in order to fully rebuild *bullseye*. To that end, [a request was made to the Debian system administrators](https://rt.debian.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8547)) to obtain better access to `snapshot.debian.org` for this mirror in order to accelerate the initial seeding.
