Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
rsbackup could not be built reproducibly.
This was because the DEBIAN/md5sums file was generated by naively
iterating over the file system without piping the outout via sort(1).
(There is a call to sort, but only for one of the binary packages.)
Patch attached.
