[Debconf-devel] Bug#783255: debconf: please make the package build reproducibly

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that debconf could not be built reproducibly. The curent timezone gets
written to the PO template.

The attached patch—based on Git master—sets the timezone to UTC before
running xgettext. Once applied, debconf can be built reproducibly in our
current experimental framework.
