Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that rumor could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch just sets TZ to UTC when building the documentation.
Once applied, rumor can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.

That said, I'm not entirely convinced it's a good approach to patch build 
systems individually like this, I'm wondering whether dh shouldn't set 
TZ=UTC... still filing a bug so that we have a place to discuss this.
(So maybe this bug should be (cloned and) reassigned to debhelper.)


cheers,
        Holger
