If you're taking about deployments, that's definitely unusual. Outside of deployments, what's a scenario where deterministic builds are important, but it would be considered normal to manually install them anyways?

I don't see why deterministic builds would only be important for deployments. Even ignoring the security issues here (which don't necessarily apply only to deployments), there's this whole classic "works for me, not a bug" situation.

Great, then you should be able to mention at least one solid normal usecase as an example. I don't think there is one.
