Bug#1082796: python-mt-940: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: python-mt-940
Version: 4.30.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-mt-940 could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it ships test coverage in HTML format in the binary
package that contains timestamps.

A patch is attached that simply removes this coverage entirely after
running the tests.

However, the coverage was being installed into the incorrect
directory /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/htmlcov, so if you would
prefer to keep the test coverage, you would of course need to
install it into a more appropriate location also.
