When working on reproducible builds for openSUSE,
I found that the nmh package differs for every build
and Debian already tracked this in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=835985

The attached patch for 1.7.1 assumes that GNU date is used during build.
If support for BSD date (e.g. MacOSX) is required, a different patch needs to be done.
The easiest would be to drop the date/hostname - otherwise look at
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal#Bash_.2F_POSIX_shell

The Debian patch had 1 extra chunk about locale-dependent globbing that I did not include (because we dont have locales in our build env)
