Just in case it isn't obvious, this is a view of reproducibility of
actual packages shipped by Debian! In my opinion, this is really
exciting news!!!

Previously the tests of debian packages on tests.reproducible-builds.org
only tests the building of a package twice, which is great for finding
issues, but the results are not a meaningful comparison against packages
anyone actually uses.

I've seen numbers in the ranges of 60-90% reproducible, depending on the
package sets and the timing ("pending" tests for new uploads and such
tend to make the numbers fluctuate quite a bit, especially on the
smaller package sets) ... which, all things considered, is pretty good,
and fairly similar to what tests.reproducible-builds.org shows, maybe
even slightly better in some cases.
