Bug#1121077: entropybroker: please make the build reproducible

Source: entropybroker
Version: 2.9-9

Hi,

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

This was because it ships a different binary package depending
on whether the tests are run or not. Specifically, the testsuite
generates an err.txt file that ends up in the binary .deb (and,
contrariwise, does not end up in the .deb if nocheck is specified).

Patch attached that removes this file in execute_dh_auto_test
but there are other solutions that you may prefer.
