[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#961657: vows: please make the build reproducible

Source: vows
Version: 0.8.3-2

Hi,

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

This is because the package overrides dh_fixperms but does not call
dh_fixperms itself and so files will vary on the umask in use during
the build.

(This should have been detected by Lintian via the
override_dh_fixperms-does-not-call-dh_fixperms tag — if not, please
file a bug against that package.)

Patch attached.
