Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
libtpms could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the 0003-set-man-page-date-to-last-changelog had an
incorrect path the Debian change which was leading to:
dpkg-parsechangelog: error: cannot open file changelog: No such file or
directory
… in the logs.
Patch attached that sets the path correctly, but a superior approach
would be to parse SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in the patch instead of manually
parsing debian/changelog.
