Bug#1136291: powerline: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: powerline
Version: 2.8.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because the documentation embedded the contents of os.environ
by automatically documenting the Renderer class from the powerline's
renderer module.

A patch is attached that specifically excludes documenting this class
member (only) from the documentation.
