[Reproducible-builds] Bug#776879: xtables-addons: please make the build reproducible

Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have
noticed that xtables-addons doesn't build reproducibly.
The file xtables-addons.tar.bz2 contains timestamps and an unstable
file order.

The attached patch creates a tarball with a sorted file list and with timestamps
set to the date of the last changelog entry.
Once applied, xtables-addons can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.

Regards,
 Reiner
