Bug#784318: gnome-desktop3: please make the build reproducible

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that gnome-desktop3 could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch will allow GNOME_DATE to be set externally and
use the latest debian/changelog entry as reference date. Once
applied, gnome-desktop3 can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.
