Hi,

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

This is because the documentation calls out to Python 2.x and the
error message that gets embedded in the documentation varies depending
on the shell (eg. dash vs. bash):

? ? ? ? -/bin/sh: 1: python: not found
? ? ? ? +/bin/sh: line 1: python: command not found

This is, in turn, caused by the debian/patches/python3.patch patch
being slightly incomplete, we also need to patch the can.bridge bit:

Hi,

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

This was because the DEBIAN/md5sums file was generated by naively
iterating over the file system without piping the outout via sort(1).
(There is a call to sort, but only for one of the binary packages.)

Patch attached.
