[Reproducible-builds] Bug#794795: debiandoc-sgml-doc: please make the build reproducible

Source: debiandoc-sgml-doc
Version: 1.1.23
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that debiandoc-sgml-doc could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes timestamps from the documentation (I didn't
find a way to pass an external variable/date to the debiandoc tools to
replace the <date> tag). Once applied, debiandoc-sgml-doc can be built
reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
