[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#973801: python-pairix: please make the build reproducible

Source: python-pairix
Version: 0.3.7-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because it inherits the umask and uid/gids of the surrounding
build environment in samples.tar.xz. For example, this is the
samples/test_old_merged_nodups.txt.bsorted.gz.px2 file:

 -rw-r--r--   0 pbuilder1  (1111) pbuilder1  (1111)
 -rw-rw-r--   0 pbuilder2  (2222) pbuilder2  (2222)
      ^                 ^                 ^

Patch attached.
