What I meant to say was that there is no byte-exact reproduction steps. There is a build procedure but the design goal of the build procedure for the doc tarballs does not include byte-exact reproduction at all, as the doc tarballs are not considered as sources. It's meant as a mere convenience for those who lack the asciidoc(tor) toolchain, a semi-binary distribution.
