Just as a note of warning, currently the "reproducible build" label is used with two different meanings:

  1. by distro people, meaning "artifacts are bit-by-bit equal"
  2. by programming people, meaning "we can rebuild with the same set of dependencies/modules"

I had misunderstandings in the past, so you may want to clarify the first time you introduce the term.

Thanks for the comment @lucab. I noticed this community-wide inconsistency too and I'm going to explain it in the thesis.
