 For every .apk build we do a
 {{{
 keytool -genkey -v -keystore qa.keystore -storepass android -alias
 androidqakey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
 -dname "CN=Android Tor QA,O=Tor,C=US"
 }}}
 which

 a) results in differences between the resulting .apk files defeating our
 reproducible builds goal and

 b) results in a hassle testing those .apk files by trying to overwrite an
 older installation: the keys must be the same, otherwise the app would not
 get installed over the already available one.
