In general I'm in favour of efforts to ensure reproducible builds, but I'm concerned about interactions with the store. The store rejects attempts to upload blobs that are the same as ones it's seen before. At the moment it's possible to work around certain kinds of upload failures just by triggering a new build, taking advantage of the lack of reproducibility. Has anyone talked to the store team about whether it might be possible to relax this restriction somehow?

It also seems specifically undesirable to lose things like `build_url`, and `build-request-id` and build-request-timestamp` are used by the build frontend on snapcraft.io.
