I agree that reproducible builds should be on the list.
I have a patch to the dpkg-raw class which I will submit shortly to avoid 
getting a new timestamp in debian/changelog with every build

In other words, there are two parallel tracks / work-packages towards 
reproducible builds (at least that I see):

(1) get fixed content from designated upstream sources (ie what is being 
delineated below)
(2) identify and fix areas where Isar is generating/building content in a 
non reproducible way

It would be really nice if we could come up with some tooling to report 
differences between two Isar builds (obviously leveraging tools used by the 
Debian project such as diffoscope)
