Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that aboot could not be built reproducibly.
It has a copy of the docbook2man-de-spec.pl script from docbook-utils,
which doesn't support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH yet, so the timestamp
embedded into manpages varies with locale and build time.

The attached patch fixes this.

Regards,
 Reiner
