Actually, a few months back I actually took a look at libzeep. After doing a few investigations I found out that the problem
is instead with doxygen rather than libzeep, with the set of options you passed. I admit, I don't remember what exactly was the problem though. (been many months)
Doing a sed would be straightforward, yes, but you might as well want to write an email[1] to reproducible builds mailing list, and you might find a much better solution there.
Make sure you are subscribed to this list before you send an email here, otherwise your mail might be put in the moderation queue.
