The file /usr/share/doc/libforms-doc/html/xforms_images/Makefile.gz
contains variable build paths (e.g. /build/1st/package-version
vs. /build/2/package-version/2nd) and binary paths (e.g. /bin/grep
vs. /usr/bin/grep), which causes reproducibility issues:

In order to use use this Makefile, a person may need to regenerate it
regardless from Makefile.am, so remove it from the package.


Thanks for maintaining libforms!

Subject: [PATCH] debian/rules: Remove generated example Makefile from
 libforms-doc.

The generated Makefile contains variable build paths
(e.g. /build/1st/package-version vs. /build/2/package-version/2nd) and
binary paths (e.g. /bin/grep vs. /usr/bin/grep), which causes
reproducibility issues:

  https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/build-path/

In order to use use this Makefile, a person may need to regenerate it
regardless from Makefile.am, so remove it from the package.
