Bug#777419: socklog: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: socklog
Version: 2.1.0-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

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

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