order of files in md5sums (in control.tar.gz) differ from build1 to build2. This only happens in packages not using dh_md5sums and it's easily fixed by sorting the output of "find" before piping it to md5sum. Example: . cd debian/tmp && \ find * -type f ! -regex "^DEBIAN/.*" -print0 |\ LC_ALL=C sort -z | xargs -0r md5sum > DEBIAN/md5sums
Our notes about issues affecting packages are stored in notes.git and are targeted at packages in Debian in 'unstable/amd64' (unless they say otherwise).
