Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
cdebootstrap could not be built reproducibly.

This is the because the embedded .tar file does not sort its entries
so it inherits the (non-deterministic) filesystem ordering.

Patch attached that adds --sort=name (next to --mtime=[..]) that makes
the build reproducible for me locally.

I have just tested this and it makes the package reproducible for me. Is there anything blocking the integration of this?

Cheers Jochen
