I shall apply this patch if it's necessary, however I will note that the build still won't be "reproducible" due to the Date/Time information that is displayed at the start screen.
This is the only change needed here to make it reproducible for openSUSE (we normalize many parts of the build system, so Debian might find more issues later).
We already have patches in gcc, rpm etc that override the 'current' time with a constant time (usually the changelog date)

From the website linked to by the patch:
If you can confirm that the build date/time recording is not a problem then I have no reason not to apply your patch. Thanks.
