[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1028051: unifrac-tools: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: unifrac-tools
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because upstream's Makefile does not use the contents of
CFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags so it misses the reproducibility-related
compiler flags (and likely others).

Proof of concept patch attached.
