[Reproducible-builds] Bug#783478: texi2html: [PATCH] Please make the build reproducible

[Juan Picca]

Package: texi2html

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that texi2html could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system and
ensure a stable file order when creating the source archive. Once
applied, texi2html can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
