Is anyone working on (or thinking of working on) making our build process reproducible?

We have that since about forever as far as easily possible. The hard part is changing packages to not depend on things like build time (e.g. encoding build date/time into strings into executables). That's not something you can do generally in a build system, but must be changed in each and every individual package.
Unfortunately most of my bug reports are gently rotting ;(
