[Reproducible-builds] Bug#783885: bind9: please make the build reproducible

Source: bind9
Version: 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi!

While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have
noticed that bind9 doesn't build reproducibly.
The binary gets a timestamp of the build date embedded.

The attached patch defines a macro that prevents that the timestamp
will be part of the version string.

Regards,
 Reiner
