* Make the build reproducible
  + export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH which helps help2man generate reproducible
    manpages
  + process all database files included in the binary packages with a tool
    that:
    - sets the creation stamp in the database header to a fixed value (taken
      from the last changelog stanza)
    - zero-out unused portions of data and b-tree index pages
* rewrite all added manpages that were still using sgml+docbook-to-man to
  POD
  + remove build dependency on orphaned docbook-to-man
* -classic.postrm: replace -x test on update-inetd existence with 'which';
  thanks, lintian
