Bug#934699: scons: please make the build reproducible by not shipping .pyc files

Source: scons
Version: 3.1.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed
that scons could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the revert to Python 2.x did not update debian/rules
to match and thus dh_python2 was not being run, resulting in .pyc
files being shipped in the package. These files are not reproducible.

Patch attached.
