Hi,
While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that dh-python is generating files in /usr/share/python/ns/PACKAGE with
a non-deterministic order.
The attached patch removes this non-determinism from the build system.
Once
applied, packages using namespace packages can be built reproducibly in
our
current experimental framework.
