I am not aware of anybody consciously and intentionally doing this
across the entire Javascript platform. However, Debian packages
endeavour to rebuild all of their sources, and combining that with
our reproducibility testing framework I have discovered a number of
issues in these minifier-like programs.

For example, here is one I fixed earlier this year in browserify-lite:

… but there remain issues in other tools such as uglifyjs and others.
