Hi!

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

The attached patch redefines DATE, WHOAMI, and HOSTNAME_CMD in
debian/rules to stable values. Once applied, nvidia-settings can be
built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
