[Reproducible-builds] Bug#819883: debootstrap: please make the build reproducible

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that debootstrap could not be built reproducibly.
The devices.tar.gz tarball contains devices in unsorted (readdir) order.

The attached patch fixes this by telling tar to sort the archive
members.

Regards,
 Reiner
