Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that dh_installinit doesn't generate reproducible postinst files. It writes a list of tmpfiles in readdir order. The attached patch sorts this list before it is written. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
