Bernhard M. Wiedemann 7f0b945741 Allow to override build date with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
in order to make builds reproducible.
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good
and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for the definition of this variable.

Without this patch, building python-debtcollector from a tarball
that does not contain a .git dir varied for every build.

Allow to override build date of generated files with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
in order to make build results of packages fully reproducible
especially when building from tarballs without a .git directory.
