Bug#1068372: grokevt: please make the build reproducible

Source: grokevt
Version: 0.5.0-5

Hi,

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

This is because it ships an .egg file in the binary package that
contains files varying by timezone.. A patch is attached that follows
dh-python by specifying --single-version-externally-managed and
--root=/ such that the .egg file is not created.
