I have no opinion on whether it should be backported; there is a patch
for it in Debian at the moment; it would help reproducible builds
elsewhere (eg OpenSUSE have a reproducible builds project too).

Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,”
 believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term
 even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”
