Bug#972930: netcdf-parallel: please make the libnetcdf.settings file reproducible

Source: netcdf-parallel
Version: 1:4.7.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
netcdf-parallel generates a non-deterministic libnetcdf.settings file.

There is already a reproducible-settings patch which ensures that
CFLAGS do not leak into this file, but this misses the (possibly new)
absolute build path.

Patch attached, although it would of course be cleaner to merge it
into the existing reproducible-settings.patch file; I just didn't want
you to send you a mindmending patch of a patch.
