Bug#1064891: pytest-repeat: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
pytest-repeat could not be built reproducibly.

This was because of the use of echo "... \n ..." in debian/rules,
which emits a literal "\n" on shells other than Bash such as dash:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pytest_repeat.egg-info/entry_points.txt
│ │ │ │ @@ -1,2 +1 @@
│ │ │ │ -[pytest11]
│ │ │ │ -repeat = pytest_repeat
│ │ │ │ +[pytest11]\nrepeat = pytest_repeat

A patch is attached that uses printf instead.
