Hi! As part of the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that dh_installdeb is registering conffiles depending on the file system order. This prevents some package from building reproducibly. Attached is a patch that will sort the list of files, giving a stable output.

Subject: [PATCH] dh_installdeb: register conffiles in a stable order
conffiles were automatically registered by dh_installdeb depending on
the order they were found on the filesystem. For build reproducibility,
we now sort them in order to have a stable order accross multiple
builds.
