Reproducible Builds - rebuilding what is distributed from ftp.debian.org

For more than ten years the Reproducible Builds project has worked towards reproducible builds of many projects and for ten years now we have build Debian packages twice, with maximal variations applied, to see if they can be build reproducible still.
Since about a month we’ve also been rebuilding trying to exactly match the builds being distributed via ftp.d.o - this talk will describe the setup and the lessons learned so far, and why the results currently are what they are (spoiler: less <30% reproducible) and what we can do to fix that.
