Hi,

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

This is because the dh_installinit snippets that are placed into the
post{inst,rm} scripts are generated in a filesystem — and thus
non-deterministic — order.

The attached patch removes this randomness from the build system by
simply
sorting the filenames. Once applied, ceph can be built reproducibly in
our
reproducible toolchain.
