[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#914176: cfitsio: please make the build reproducible

Source: cfitsio
Version: 3.450-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is is because if you pass absolute paths to the heve
documentation generator it will encode that (unreproducible) path
in the final .deb.

Patch attached.
