Bug#845191: libhtml-parser-perl: please make the build reproducible (buildpath)

Source: libhtml-parser-perl
Version: 3.72-2

Hi!

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

Specifically, for some values of the path to the root of the source tree
(such as '/tmp/tmp.tnegvZNHVC/foobar'), the HTML::Entities man page had
the following header:

.TH libhtml-parser-perl-3.72::blib::lib::HTML::Entities 3pm "2016-07-06" "perl v5.24.1" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"

Patch attached; it results in:

.TH HTML::Entities 3pm "2016-07-06" "perl v5.24.1" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"

Cheers,

Daniel
