Bug#1068375: ludevit: please make the build reproducible

Source: ludevit

Hi,

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

This is because it ships an .egg file in the binary package that
contains files varying by the current time. A patch is attached that
follows dh-python by specifying --single-version-externally-managed
and --root=/ such that the .egg file is not created.

Patch attached.
