Hi,
While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that docbook-dsssl could not be built reproducibly.
The attached patch removes randomness from the build system by ensuring
that the changelog is concatenated in a locale-independent order. Once
applied, docbook-dsssl can be built reproducibly in our reproducible
toolchain.
