[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1121071: nim-hts: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: nim-hts
Version: 0.3.25+ds-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

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

This was because it ships a different binary package depending
on whether the tests are run or not. Specifically, the testsuite
generated two files (HG02002.bam.csi & sample.fa.fai) that ended
up in the .deb.

A patch is attached that deletes these files immediately after
running the tests.
