[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#976445: libjs-qunit: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

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

This is because it includes the current date in some generated files.
I tried to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in the Gruntfile.js but I couldn't
access process.env (I'm not a JS expert, alas).

Patch attached that at least strips these dates out in debian/rules.
