Description
Current builds are not reproducible, we should move to [Snapshots](https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/how-to/software/snapshot-service/).
This would mean a local build and CI build would be exactly the same.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the Ubuntu Snapshots documentation linked in the issue and inspect the OS build configuration and CI entry points. Determine where package sources are selected for local and CI builds, then verify that both use the same snapshot and produce reproducible builds.
