[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#965361: python-cooler: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: python-cooler
Version: 0.8.8-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: umask filesystem

Hi,

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

This is because the /usr/share/doc/python3-cooler/tests.tar.xz file
embedded the build user's user uid, gid and umask. It also was sorted
based on the filesystem order.

Patch attached. (Just an unrelated heads-up that this file is 30MB.)
