Bug#934919: omnidb: please make the build reproducible

Source: omnidb
Version: 2.16.0+ds-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because it generated the "Depends" line via substvars by
iterating over the filesystem which, without an explicit sort, returns
the results in a nondeterministic order:

│ │ │ │  Installed-Size: 30226
│ │ │ │ -Depends: fonts-glewlwyd, fonts-roboto-unhinted, […]
│ │ │ │ +Depends: fonts-roboto-unhinted, fonts-glewlwyd, […]
│ │ │ │  Section: database

Patch attached that enforces an order via sort(1).
