I wildcards being used in the Makefile here:

CFILES = $(filter-out tests.c,$(wildcard *.c))
DIST_SOURCES:=$(CFILES) $(wildcard *.h) LICENSE Makefile

Did I understand correctly that this should be:

CFILES = $(filter-out tests.c,$(wildcard *.c | sort))
DIST_SOURCES:=$(CFILES) $(wildcard *.h | sort) LICENSE Makefile

That didn't improve things though, diffoscope output is still 24000 
lines: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/duperemove/-/jobs/8159762

Other usages of * in the Makefile are only in rm calls.

Need more help, please.

Greetings
Marc
