It matters a lot from a trust point of view. If you can reproduce a bit-wise identical package from the same source code, you can be sure that your copy of the code and the same compiler and dependencies were used to produce that binary you're comparing your build to. Please see https://reproducible-builds.org/ for more details and background. You can track zsh's reproducibility in Debian at https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/zsh.html Or short said: +1 for any patch which helps to make zsh reproducible. (There are IIRC further issues with yodl/LaTeX which includes build data like time stamps, etc. in files generated by it.)
