[Reproducible-builds] Bug#795394: libitpp: please make the build reproducible

[Dhole]

Source: libitpp
Version: 4.3.1-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

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

The attached patch replaces the timestamp in the docs with the latest
debian/changelog entry timestamp. Once applied, libitpp can be built
reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
