Bug#1150326: pywps: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: pywps
Version: 4.8.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

This is because the documentation embeds the current build year into
the documentation. A patch is attacehd that uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if
available.
