Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
cdebootstrap could not be built reproducibly.
This is the because the embedded .tar file does not sort its entries
so it inherits the (non-deterministic) filesystem ordering.
Patch attached that adds --sort=name (next to --mtime=[..]) that makes
the build reproducible for me locally.
