Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-pysaml2 could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the tests generate a (nondeterministic) file called
eptid.db that is then shipped in the binary package. Incidentally, the
file is installed directly to the global
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages directory, which is a likely a bug in
itself. (Hm, isn't there a Lintian warning for this?)
Anyway, patch attached that removes this file after running the tests.
