Bug#1079194: python-aiopvpc: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: python-aiopvpc
Version: 4.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

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

This is because it ships test coverage reports (rendered into HTML) in
the binary package. These files contain "created at" timestamps.

In fact, it ships these files directly under the global Python
namespace (e.g. /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/htmlcov/index.html),
which is arguably a more significant issue.

However, both can be fixed simply by not shipping the HTML coverage at
all in the binary package; it is unlikely to be of any help to consumers
of this library.
