[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1121064: insilicoseq: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: insilicoseq
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: nocheck

Hi,

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

This was because it ships a different binary package depending
on whether the tests are run or not. This is caused by the testsuite
bumping the modification time of the data/ directory that then
gets installed via dh_installexamples.

Patch attached that ensures a consistent modification time for this
directory, regardless of nocheck.
