Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
siso could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the manpage embeds three nondetermistic values; two
UUIDs and the absolute path to the build user's home directory.
A hacky patch is attached that post-processes the manpage in debian/rules,
although a better solution would be to modify the upstream code to
calculate these values separate from "flags" module's concept of
default values.
