Bug#1120631: pydata-sphinx-theme: please make the build reproducible

Source: pydata-sphinx-theme
Version: 0.16.1+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because the binary differs depending on whether the tests
are run or not. Specifically, the assets/ directory is only shipped
if the tests are run.

A patch is attached that will remove assets/ after running the tests,
but if the package really does need them at runtime, then the
package will need rejigging.
