graste"As of May 9, 2026, Debian’s migration software now actively blocks packages from migrating into the testing archive if they fail the reproducibility check. This applies both to new packages that cannot be reproduced and to existing packages whose reproducibility has regressed. Debian 14.0 will be the first major Debian release to ship under this hard mandate."

Debian Mandates Reproducible Packages for Debian 14 "Forky". In a landmark policy shift, the Debian release team has made reproducible builds a hard requirement — meaning no package may enter the archive unless it can be built bit-for-bit identically by independent parties.
