[Reproducible-builds] Bug#814840: tor: Please make build reproducable

Package: tor
Version: 0.2.6.7-1
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

As can be seen from
<URL: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/tor.html >,
the tor package build is not reproducable.  The cause is timestamps
embedded in HTML generated files.

Please make the tor package build reproducable.  A simple workaround
according to
<URL: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsInDocumentationGeneratedByAsciidoc >
is to use TZ=UTC when calling asciidoc.

The tor package is used in the FreedomBox project, and one long term
goal for me there is to make sure the FreedomBox system is completely
made from reproducable packages.
