[Reproducible-builds] Bug#825138: console-setup: please make the build reproducible

Hi!

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

There are three remaining issues:
- different umasks cause differences in the mode of uuencoded files
- $(wildcard ...) in Makefiles is unsorted, which causes randomly
  ordered entries in charmap_functions.sh
- files are listed in debian/preprocessor with `ls *.{psf,acm}`, which
  is sorted, but sorted differently depending on the locale.

The attached patch fixes those issues.

Regards,
 Reiner
