Comment (by eighthave):

 For F-Droid, I think building without containers makes the most sense.
 The F-Droid build process is already in a standardized VM, and it looks
 like @boklm got it working already.  And running without containers should
 make it easier to spot new reproducibility issues going forward.

 For future reference, `sudo:` is available in F-Droid builds, but it is
 run as the first step in the build, and can't be called after that first
 step e.g. in the `build:` or `prebuild:` scripts.  After the `sudo:`
 script is run, ''sudo'' is literally uninstalled and the root account is
 locked.
