I'm not so sure about this.  I don't remember Policy specifying whether
a build process can make assumptions on the configuration of possible
alternatives, and at any rate I wouldn't bet my build process on that:
after all you talk about "sane build environment", but I don't remember
any kind of consensus that said building on your dirty daily system is
not supported.

I'm personally biased as a member of the Reproducible Builds team that
believe any possible variable in the environment must not affect the
build result, this sounds like yet another one to me.
