- Debian 12.10 ("bookworm") live images are now 100% reproducible.
- Reproducible builds ensure identical copies of artifacts given the same source code, build environment, and instructions.
- Debian distributes binaries it didn't build and lacks source code for them, making some builds non-reproducible.
- Nonfree packages in Debian prevent full reproducibility according to some contributors.
- Debian's Reproducible Builds project aims to improve build reproducibility, including live images.
