Severity: normal

The date is embedded in /usr/share/man/man1/guymager.1.gz:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/guymager.html

  TH·guymager·1·"2023-11-10"·"version·0.8.13-1
  vs.
  TH·guymager·1·"2022-10-09"·"version·0.8.13-1

The attached patch to the upstream manuals/rebuild.sh file fixes this by
using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to determine the date to embed in the manpage.

According to my local tests, with this patch applied guymager should
build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org once it migrates to
bookworm/testing! There are other outstanding issues with build-paths,
which are only tested on unstable/experimental.

Thanks for maintaining guymager!

live well,
  vagrant
