It shouldn't, but my understanding is that it currently does.  If you can
fix that, that's great, but until that's been fixed, I don't see the harm
in documenting this as a prerequisite for a reproducible build.  If we can
relax that prerequisite later, great, but nothing about listing it here
should reduce the pressure on making variable build paths work.  It just
documents the current state of the world.
