[Python-modules-team] Bug#795976: sphinx: please make the build reproducible (timestamps, randomness)

[Val Lorentz]

Hi,

I can't reproduce the unreproducibility on my computer.

However, reading debian/rules, I think setting PYTHONHASHSEED=0 when
calling dh_sphinxdoc should work. Actually, modifying dh_sphinxdoc to
set this variable may be better (in case someone copy-pastes it to their
own package).

If it does not work, try the attached package.
