Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that vte generates output that is not reproducible:

Patch attached.

Thank you for working on this and helping to make Debian better.
However, the only thing keeping the old vte in Debian is the Debian
installer. See https://bugs.debian.org/887649

The Debian GNOME team does not intend to do any more uploads for
src:vte. The maintained version is the vte2.91 source package.

This looks to be fixed now:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/vte.html

vte (1:0.28.2-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Stop building python-vte and libvte-doc
  * Switch from cdbs to dh
  * Build-Depend on debhelper-compat 11 and drop debian/compat (Closes: #696395)
  * Build-Depend on dh-sequence-gnome instead of gnome-pkg-tools
  * Update Vcs fields for salsa.debian.org
  * Add debian/gbp.conf
  * Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0
  * Fix debian/watch to ignore newer vte series
  * Use the same build config for the deb that we use for the udeb
    (Closes: #644890)

My *guess* is the that the conversion to dh and a newer debhelper compat
level now pass the default build flags, which includes flags to avoid
embedding the build paths.
