[Reproducible-builds] Bug#805787: deja-dup: please make the build reproducible

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that deja-dup could not be built reproducibly.
It ships an embedded and outdated copy of help2man, which doesn't
support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH yet. This leads to the current build date
getting embedded into the manpages.

The attached patch fixes this by adding a build dependency for help2man
and using it instead of the included version.

Regards,
 Reiner
