Bug#777409: ftpcopy: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: ftpcopy
Version: 0.6.7-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, ftpcopy can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
