[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#950936: pynwb: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because it embedded the build date into generated ".nwb" files
*but* note that your package is installing files directly under:

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/test_*.nwb

… which is probably not what you intend to happen. Patch attached, but
I would probably rather if your package simply did not install this
test file.
