Debian pays a lot of attention to the build reproducibility of its packages. Currently, the octave-communications package is not building reproducibly. The problem comes (partly) from the fact that the documentation figures in PDF format are not generated in a deterministic way. The patch attached to this bug report fixes the problem by passing seeds as arguments to the awgn and randsrc calls.

Please, consider applying this patch in the next release of the communications package.
