[Reproducible-builds] Bug#774852: manpages: please make build reproducible

[Jérémy Bobbio]

Source: manpages

Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that manpages could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patches removes timestamps from gzip headers and ensure a
stable order in the copyright file. Once applied, manpages can be built
reproducibly with our current experimental framework.
