Hi! While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that equivs doesn't build reproducibly. The build date is embedded into the manpage. The attached patch fixes this by using the date from the latest changelog entry. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
