Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
ssh-tools could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the manpage embeds the build user:
│ │ │ │ │ \fB\-l\fR user
│ │ │ │ │ -Try login with <user> as username. The default is $USER (pbuilder1).
│ │ │ │ │ +Try login with <user> as username. The default is $USER (pbuilder2).
I think this is actually wrong: the actual default is the *current*
value of $USER, not just what it happened to be there at build time.
Patch attached that corrects this, also making the build reproducible.
