Bug#1050955: rpy2: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: rpy2
Version: 3.5.13-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
rpy2 could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the testsuite generates a Rplots.pdf file which
contains a build timestamp. This file is then installed directly into
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages — hence the increased severity of this
bug.

Patch attached.
