Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
samtools could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it includes the build flags in the binary to include
in --version output, but this will encode the buildpath due to
dpkg-buildflags(1) embedding (for example) -ffile-prefix-map.
Patch attached that normalises these paths to a placeholder entry
using sed(1).
