[Reproducible-builds] Bug#782851: unzip: please make unzip build reproducibly

[Jérémy Bobbio]

Severity: wishlist

Hi!

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

The attached patch removes timestamps from gzip files and from the
binary. It also make the mtime of files in the binary package
deterministic, and sort the md5sums file in order to make its content
independent from the filesystem ordering.

Once applied, unzip can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.
