[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#819334: avahi: please make the build reproducible

Source: avahi
Version: 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that avahi could not be built reproducibly.
During build a minimal default ChangeLog is generated by autotools,
which is used as the upstream changelog. It includes a timestamp
of the build, which makes it unreproducible.

The attached patch uses the docs/NEWS file as upstream changelog
instead, as the autogenerated stub is not useful at all, and
the NEWS file actually is a detailed changelog by upstream.

Regards,
 Reiner
