Is the build infrastructure for Debian also reproducible? It seems like we if someone wants to inject malware in Debian package binaries (without injecting them into the source), they have to target the build infrastructure (compilers, linkers and whatever wrapper code is written around them).

Also, is someone else also compiling these images, so we have evidence that the Debian compiling servers were not compromised?

The whole point of reproducible builds is to ensure security even if buildbots are compromised.
