Dear Maintainer,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that daisy-player could not be built reproducibly, due to `txt2man -p`
parsing the last component of the build directory.

Patch attached.

Cheers,

Daniel

P.S. The patch as written is upstreamable.  For Debian it might make
sense to use «$$(cd .. && dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion)» so as to have
a more detailed version number.
