Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
elinks could not be built reproducibly.
This because the manual PDF embeds the current build date:
├── ./usr/share/doc/elinks/manual.pdf.gz
├── manual.pdf

│ +July 8, 2024
│
A patch is attached that exports FORCE_SOURCE_DATE in debian/rules,
a LaTeX-specific variable to ensure that LaTeX tools respect the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
