[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#946315: infernal: please make the build reproducible

Source: infernal
Version: 1.1.3-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because it embeds the current build timestamp and the absolute
build directory from which it was built in a generated file that is
shipped with the package.

Sample patch attached.
