Bug#776949: fake: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: fake
Version: 1.1.11-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, fake can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
