[Python-modules-team] Bug#852289: python-passlib: please make the build reproducible (timestamps)

[Eli Collins]

Passlib author here -

In case this helps the debian package maintainer decide on this patch /
schedule things, the timestamp problem this addresses is due to a bug in
the passlib 1.7.0 setup script, which should be fixed in the 1.7.1 upstream
release (due out next weekend).
