Bug#1131168: moltemplate: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: moltemplate
Version: 2.22.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because the LaTeX-based documentation includes the current
build date. This can be specified to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH through the
LaTeX-specific FORCE_SOURCE_DATE environment variable.

Patch attached.
