[Reproducible-builds] Bug#762683: libdpkg-perl: add build flags that help with build reproducibility

[Paul Wise]

Package: libdpkg-perl
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Usertags: sentpatch

The attached pair of patches add support for adding build flags that
help with build reproducibility and add the -Wdate-time flag, which
causes warnings when the time related macros are used. This has the
potential to cause FTBFS in conjunction with -Werror so we are willing
to do package rebuilds with this patch in order to test the theory.
