Hi,

src:aegisub in unstable can't migrate to testing because the QA
infrastructure couldn't reproduce some binary packages in
unstable while it could reproduce the version in testing [1, 2].

From the diff it looks like some randomness is compiled in, maybe due to
some auto generated source code? Based on the diff to -4 it could also
be in one of the build dependencies.

Feel free to reach out if you need help debugging the problem but I
assume it will not be easy. Alternatively you can ask the release team
for an exception [3].

Cheers Jochen
