That was considerate of you, thanks :)  But don't worry too much; 
have some shell aliases that semi-automate it so I only expended
about five minutes on it.

Oh, you might wish to update:

  Source: https://github.com/openstack/nova.git

.. in debian/copyright (and possibly other reference).

Not at all! And you should get a vote; indeed, I would have thought
you would have one anyway as someone who takes care of that in Debian.
It would definitely make sense for you to have a vote.

(Feel free to take over the patch entirely; it is so trivial anyway
it's probably not even copyrightable...)

> Thanks for your patch, and working on reproducible-build,

A pleasure as always :)
