Bug#976447: circlator: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: circlator
Version: 1.5.6-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
circlator could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it generates a tarball without sorting its contents or
ensuring that the files do not inherit the user and group (etc.) of
the build environment.

Patch attached.
