Subject: debhelper: please register conffiles in a stable order

Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:39:28 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20141010
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that
dh_installdeb is registering conffiles depending on the file system
order. This prevents some package from building reproducibly.

Attached is a patch that will sort the list of files, giving a stable
output.

Thanks,
