Package: dblatex
Version: 0.3.5-2

The Plinth package is not reproducable because its documentation PDF is
changing every time it is built.  The documentation is generated using
xmlto calling dblatex.  Can dblatex be changed to produce the same PDF
every time it is called?

Here is an example calling dblatex twice resulting in different PDF
content:

  % dblatex freedombox-manual.xml; md5sum freedombox-manual.pdf
  Build the book set list...
  Build the listings...
  XSLT stylesheets DocBook - LaTeX 2e (0.3.5-2)
  ===================================================
  Build freedombox-manual.pdf
  'freedombox-manual.pdf' successfully built

  % dblatex freedombox-manual.xml; md5sum freedombox-manual.pdf
  Build the book set list...
  Build the listings...
  XSLT stylesheets DocBook - LaTeX 2e (0.3.5-2)
  ===================================================

  'freedombox-manual.pdf' successfully built

I tried with setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH too, but it did not help.

The Plinth bug is <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/800816 >.
