[php-maint] Bug#889128: php7.2: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: php7.2
Version: 7.2.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that php7.2 could not be built reproducibly.

Whilst the timestamp uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, it currently varies on
the timezone.

Patch attached.
