The build for awesome 4.3 is (no longer) reproducible.
I assume it once was, as it specifically has patches applied in the definition for the sake of achieving reproducibility.
My current checkout:
```

Please see attached diffoscope output.
It looks like the lua-ldoc output is non-deterministic.
Adding "-DGENERATE_DOC=off" to #:configure-flags seems to fix the issue for awesome.
Not sure if that's considered an acceptable solution though.
I don't use those generated html docs so I don't mind. :D
Perhaps the more correct solution is to patch lua-ldoc upstream.
But from the guix perspective, awesome is the only package depending on it currently, afaict.
