Bug#680011: libpam-systemd: arch-dependent file in "Multi-Arch: same" package

[shawn]

retitle 680011 build-time timestamps in generated manpages break
multiarch
reassign 680011 docbook-xsl
affects 680011 systemd
tag 680011 patch
stop

In docbook-xsl/manpages/other.xsl:290 and 377 (see also
docbook-xsl/params/man.th.extra1.suppress.xml)

docbook emits build-time timestamps into man pages.
Since many packages build the manpages at every build,
if the package places them into arch-any packages the timestamp
breaks multi-arch.

Furthermore, the second timestamp, (man.th.extra1) is shown at
the bottom of the man page readout, and using the build-time rather
than the modify-time here is misleading.

Here is a patch against docbook-xsl to remove the first timestamp, but
I think a better solution would be to use the mtime of the .xml
file.
