Hi,

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

This is because it built a different binary package depending on
whether nocheck was specified. Specifically, if the tests were run,
then the package would ship a bunch of files such as:

   /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bin/AlignSets.py
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This seems like an issue in itself. :)  Patch attached.
