Subject: [PATCH] make monkeysign build reproducibly
The man pages are currently generated with today's date.
This change makes them set with the date based off the BUILD_TIMESTAMP
environment variable, if that variable is set; it also adjusts
debian/rules to export that variable based on the last entry in
debian/changelog.
