Bug#967238: nmh: please make the build reproducible

Source: nmh
Version: 1.7.1-6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

Patch attached that also normalises the hostname. I note that you have
included my previous patches in "11-repro", but I provide this as a separate
patch file to this bug report so it's more obvious what the proposed
change is.

If you have not already considered doing so, we would appreciate it if
you could forward all of these changes upstream.
