Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that mon-contrib could not be built reproducibly.
The source package contains two files named "sms.alert":
- alerts/sms/sms/sms.alert
- alerts/sms/sms.alert

In debian/rules they are both installed to
/usr/lib/mon-contrib/alert.d/sms.alert:
  https://sources.debian.net/src/mon-contrib/1.0%2Bdfsg-3/debian/rules/#L29

But as 'find' returns the list of files in non-deterministic order,
it's also not deterministic which file is finally shipped in the
binary package.

Regards,
 Reiner
