The oss-reproducible measures if a regenerated package is "semantically equivalent" to the posted package. One thing it tries to do is determine if a build is a "reproducible build", that is, if it's bit-for-bit identical. Being a reproducible build is the best possible evidence of something being semantically equivalent!! It'd be awesome if the tool could report if a package is a reproducible build when it is, instead of only reporting that it's semantically equivalent (without adding that additional information when it's true).
It shouldn't be too hard to make the report, you're already doing the hard part :-). But this is more than a documentation change, and #426 was purely about changing the term to make it clearer to everyone.
