aims to reproduce Debian binary packages distributed via <a href="https://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/">ftp.debian.org</a>
by rebuilding using the exact same packages as the original build on the buildds, as described in the relevant .buildinfo
file.

<p>How: rebuilderd calls debrebuild that calls debootsnap, mmdebstrap and sbuild that finally
builds that package in a user namespace. debootsnap uses

package versions as were used when building the package on
<a href="https://buildd.debian.org">buildd.debian.org</a> based on the buildinfo file

based on the buildinfo file from <a href="https://buildinfos.debian.net">buildinfos.debian.net</a>.

And while this is focussed on reproducing the packages in the exact same way they are published on debian.org,
