Bug#962589: seqtools: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
seqtools could not be built reproducibly. This is because it contains
`Makefile.in` and `Makefile` example build files that are generated
from Makefile.am. The `Makefile` contains the absolute build path
which leaves the binary package unreproducible.

Patch attached that simply does not ship these generated files.
