[Reproducible-builds] Bug#795981: x11proto-input: please make the build reproducible

Source: x11proto-input
Version: 2.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that x11proto-input could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch sets the timezone to UTC before calling asciidoc to
avoid timezone differences in the generated docs. Once applied,
x11proto-input can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
