Bug#884256: pysph: please make the build reproducible

Source: pysph
Version: 0~20160514.git91867dc-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because it generates a Python .egg in a directory that is
named with the current kernel version. On the Debian i386 architecture
this can either be i686 or x86_64 when running the 64-bit kernel.

Patch attached that uses --single-version-externally-managed instead,
preventing the generation of the egg in the first place.
