Bug#1120066: python-gffutils: please make the build reproducible

Source: python-gffutils
Version: 0.13-3

Hi,

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

This is because it generates different content in the binary file
depending on whether the tests are run. In particular, the tests
leave around this file:

   /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gffutils/test/data/FBgn0031208.gtf.db

Patch attached that expands the existing cleanup after calling
dh_install, but there are likely other solutions.
