Bug#931854: liblopsub: please make the output of lopsubgen reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that liblopsub generates output that is not reproducible. The
lopsubgen utility does not respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [1] and thus
packages such as src:tfortune are rendered unreproducible as they
then encode the build date and time.

Patch attached.
