Bug#862179: acct: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: acct
Version: 6.6.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that acct could not be built reproducibly due to it updating
the timestamps in the documentation to the current time.

Patch attached.
