If B<diffoscope> is installed, it is used to +compare non-matching binaries. If B<disorderfs> is installed, it is used +during the build to inject non-determinism in filesystem listing +operations. + +I<SOURCEDIR> must be a directory containing an unpacked Debian source +package. If I<SOURCEDIR> is omitted, the current directory is assumed. + +=head1 OUTPUT DIRECTORY + +At the very end of a build, B<debrepro> will inform the location of the +output directory where the build artifacts can be found.
