Bug#993681: sphinxcontrib-programoutput: please make the build reproducible

[Simon McVittie]

Source: sphinxcontrib-programoutput
Version: 0.16-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath timezone username usrmerge
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

sphinxcontrib-programoutput builds non-reproducible documentation. The
documentation contains the current username, the absolute path to grep
(which can vary depending on merged-/usr status or whether a local
/usr/local/bin/grep exists), and the date on the grep executable (which
is presented differently depending on the timezone).

Additionally, a lot of the examples use `python`, which typically doesn't
exist in a build chroot, making them less useful as examples and
introducing the current build path via error messages.

The attached patch avoids these sources of non-reproducibility.
