[Reproducible-builds] Bug#815716: pairs: please make the build reproducible (username)

Hi!

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

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system 
and
ensure a stable file order when creating the source archive. Once 
applied,
pairs can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
