Obligatory mention of https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds here.
Also see https://people.debian.org/~lunar/blog/
Quote from the latter, quoting PerniciousPunk in an AMA:
  "Debian is undertaking a huge effort to develop a reproducible builds system. I'd like to thank you for that. This could be Debian's most important project, with how badly computer security has been going."
