Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Patch Makefile.in to generate tarball with consistent
user id, group id, sort order, timestamps and pax headers.
This patch relies on extensions to GNU tar and may require
adjustments to make portable across implementations.

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/history/mlpost.html
There are some build path issues still present in unstable, but neither
of these patches addressed those issues.
