bits from the release team (Debian)

[John Neffenger]

This seems like big news!

bits from the release team (debian-devel-announce at lists.debian.org)

   "Aided by the efforts of the Reproducible Builds project [1], we've 
decided it's time to say that Debian must ship reproducible packages. 
Since yesterday, we have enabled our migration software to block 
migration of new packages that can't be reproduced [2] or existing 
packages (in testing) that regress in reproducibility."

I'm very happy to see this change. :-)
