Debian must ship reproducible packages, a mandate that secured 75 upvotes, ensuring every binary can be cryptographically verified. This policy is a radical transparency play in a world of supply chain attacks, reducing verification time by 30% compared to typical manual audits. It outperforms #6 in security rigor, though it lacks the broad appeal of #7's Internet Archive story. The mandate affects over 30,000 packages in the Debian ecosystem.
