[PATCH] reproducible Debian: filter Environment section from buildinfo files

Hi,

thanks a lot for this patch, I've applied it as it should fix the failures
introduced with the new dpkg and avoids us from patching dpkg, which is
super awesome! 0 packages different to the main archive, finally \o/

(we should trigger rebuilds of all packages which started building
between the dpkg upload and now… if we are lazy just everything from
today :)

that said…

this permanently throws away the Environment information, which I'm not
sure is the best case of action here. maybe we should preserve them
both, always?
