Bug#961766: Enable reproducible builds by switching to help2man from Debian.

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: grub
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The help2man version shipped in grub embeds timestamps without
respecting the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/issues/unstable/timestamps_in_manpages_generated_by_help2man_issue.html

The attached patch switches grub to use help2man from Debian, which
generates manpages with a reproducible timestamp.


live well,
