This issue was addressed already four years ago when Chris Lamb (CC)
submitted an analogous patch, see below. His patch has been part of the
master branch since then, although no new version has been released.
I therefore assume that there is nothing to do for me in this
regard. Please let me know if this is not the case.
Thanks

Make the build reproducible.
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
liblopsub could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it calls "gzip" manually without the -n
flag. This should have been reported by lintian via the
package-contains-timestamped-gzip tag.
