Bug#845229: libnss-ldap: please make the build reproducible (buildpath)

[Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@apache.org>]

Source: libnss-ldap
Version: 265-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch upstream
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that libnss-ldap could not be built reproducibly.

Specifically, the last component of the source directory (normally
"libnss-ldap-265", but not guaranteed to be so) was hardcoded into the
package.

This further patch replaces that hardcoding by a constant string.

Thanks,

Daniel

P.S. The repository listed in the Vcs-* d/control headers does not
contain the two latest NMUs, which causes debcheckout(1) to retrieve
out-of-date code.
